Kyanos - Ancient Greek Blue

Well, following the trend of Greece inspired mood, the masterpiece I am going to talk about today is a totally different story. It was not based on any Greek mythology (even though I was dying to... and in fact I was a little bit obsessed with Poseidon - or maybe with the ocean color), and it was not so complicated work. Indeed, it was very simple, just a combination of blue, green and special lamp-work gems to create another view of this ocean color reflect on jewelry - another name for blue - KYANOS

Why "Kyanos"?

In Greek mythology, the god Zeus would make rain when he was sad (crying), and a storm when he was angry. And Kyanos was a name used in Ancient Greek to refer to dark blue tile (in English it means blue-green or cyan). And hence, it explained why this masterpiece has its own special long shape and combination of three main colors - symbolize for ocean, land and storm with living creatures - on earth.

Materials: special lamp work gems with flower inside, light blue and green stone.

Weight: totally light.

Price: updated on our website.

Ariela & Austin - combination of bronze and classical look

OK... Following my new experience in using more dark color with classical look, new designed came up to me and hence, I got two new pieces of work, same style but different inspiration story.

Both of the pieces have similar bronze style, with small bronze rings was designed into flower-look-alike circle (as you can see). It is required a lot of effort and patience to put one by one ring to create complete flower. Well, totally I think there are 12 flower-look-alike circles - so proud of myself :)

Anyway, welcome to ARIELA and AUSTIN

ARIELA - Bracelet

Why "ARIELA"?

Ariela - or Ariel, "is the name of an angel, sometimes also of a demon, and of a city, whence called Acropolis, where the idol is worshiped" - according to a German occultist. Ariel - also was known as the name of little mermaid, princess of the sea and a brave girl who gave up everything for love without asking for return.

So it's explained why I choose this name for my piece. Firstly, it was created based on the image of the brave little princess - very soft and fragile in look, but very strong determined mind in her personality. Secondly, Ariela is the angel who brings people hope to live as well as find their own happiness. And hence, the bracelet was created to dedicate for every girl, who is brave, loving and cheerful - no matter how hard live may become.

Materials: bronze plated rings, shells and light green small gems.

Price: updated in our website.

AUSTIN - Earrings

Why "AUSTIN"?

I once had a chance to read Jane Austen's novels, in which there is Pride and Prejudge. To be honest, I fell in love with the story immediately (even though, it's kind of discouraging to read through hundreds of pages :))) and somehow, when I looked at the pendant while thinking of new design, it reminded me of Jane Austin - or to be more exact, of her heroines in all of her books with strong mind and elegant English lady-like. And as a result, I decided to name it Austin - should I say the name choose me or I choose the name?

So here it comes - tough bronze symbols for determined person, however the pendant, the flower-like and little gems brings a smooth and charming image of elegant English lady - wherever or whatever she does.

Materials: special pendants with lady image, bronze plated rings and small green gems.

Weight: no concern. They are not so heavy, as I have tested them with my weak ears (plus the holders are stronger than normal so it helps a lot in not letting the ears bear so much weight under them).

Danae - Greek mythology inspired

The last few weeks were crazy for me, I was extremely busy with my catching-up on work, scheduling my time to be able to keep up with what I want to do - of course, with jewelry as one important task in my day :).

So I have been trying to figure out which style/trend I should create/follow for my jewelry - well, less sparkling stuff like Swarovski and beads and more mature-look focused like gems, metals, etc... And somehow it becomes more challenge for me to come up with new work piece, at least I feel so :).

Ok enough with the whining - let's meet our latest complete set of jewelry - DANAE:

Why "DANAE"?

"Once upon the time, there was a king in ancient Greek named Acrisius, he had a very beautiful daughter named Danae. One day, he decided to lock her up in the bronze tower with no door and only small window, with hope that she wouldn't be able to get married and have children that could harm him - according to the oracle predicted. However, the bronze tower couldn't prevent her beauty radiant across the sea to capture the heart of Poseidon - god of Sea. And then, a baby was born - a great hero - Perseus..."

 And hence, I create this collection with inspiration from the beauty - Danae who has Poseidon's heart and love, devoting herself to love and bringing to the world one of the greatest hero in the mythology - Perseus (at least this is the only hero that was alive without being poisoned or cursed by other gods :)). With the navy blue as main color in the collection - DANAE was made based on blessing from the sea on their love and pure golden heart of a princess whose mind and beauty was not imprisoned within the bronze tower.

What do we have in this collection?

Ending of Winter - Coming Spring - Coming new products

OK.. I had a pretty good time with my family in Vietnam. It was great and I enjoyed so much, especially the weather, not as cold as where I am now haha... I was quite lazy when I got back, due to the remaining mood from holidays and other things :).

Anyway, it's time to be back on track, for my amazing new works...I decided to change my style a bit, making things more mature and simple, starting by working with gems, metal and less beads. Well, so far so good, I loved all the things I made, and hopefully you guy will love them too ;)

Here it comes, my newest piece of work:

OCEAN SPRAY

WHY OCEAN SPRAY???

Inspired by the beauty of ocean waves reaching the bay, and water splashing everywhere in a hot summer day, just enough to calm the heat and also people's mind... to let ocean lovers free their mind and escape from reality for a story teller talking about ancient ocean legend... even though it's just a moment...

"Ocean Spray" is dedicated to ocean lovers, who always want to carry their beloved ocean and wave by their side, as a lucky charm and a reminder of being calm and relax, no matter what happens...
