Vintage pendant
Finally I received Vintage items that I’ve so long waited. As soon as I saw those fabulous jewelry findings, I got thrilled to create new jewelry. The very first was a few earrings (I will definitely post photos of collections later) and when I saw this magnificent pendant, I decided to create a simple but beautiful necklace with it. Pendant is Trinity Brass antiqued gold and it is hanging on antiqued brass chain. I attached to chain sparkling Swarovski beads.
It’s so enjoyable to create sparkling vintage jewelry, at least as enjoyable as to wear them! You can find me at – http://www.kultalilja.eu

It’s getting colder and nature is shining and sparkling with frost in the mornings. Blue clouds, frosty trees and grass inspired to create a necklace for winter brides. This gorgeous necklace is made on sterling silver with sparkling Swarovski ball on the center. Smaller Swarovski rondels capture large silver balls. Frosty blue Swarovski bicone crystals add cold winter feeling with sterling silver and gold filled beads. It’s time to prepare for winter weddings. Something new, something blue – this beautiful necklace!

Sunset wedding
Swarovski sew-on crystals are excellent for necklace. This gorgeous necklace has been made using chainmaille princess weave. Since I used Swarovski golden shadow sew-ons, I chose gold-filled wire to reflect autumn colors on necklace. Light red freshwater pearls are adding sensitivity to the jewelry. For an eye-cathcer I’ve used Swarovski rondelle which is a cap for fine chains. I was inspired by sparkling crystals and coming wedding show. This jewelry would be perfect for a mature bride, slightly girlish and still gorgeous at the same time. A perfect match for a woman who knows what she wants in her life!

Valkyria bracelet
Valkyria is variant of ancient chainmaille weave. Chainmaille’s origin is from vikings, which gave me inspiration of this weave. Beautiful bracelet got it’s name from viking myths. According to Norse myths, the Valkyries were romanticized as Odin’s Shield-Maidens, virgins with golden hair and snowy arms. In this bracelet, gold filled beads are dancing in the chainmaille as Valkyrias in Norwegian legend of Valhalla.
