Here's Where I Got The Beautiful Hair...And Jewelry


At least once a week I receive a notecard from a customer wanting to know what this hairstyle is--it appears on many of my vendor photos because I enjoy wearing it.  It's really beautiful, isn't it?  (Actually, I was shopping one day and noticed a lady with this hair, and I just HAD to ask her where she got it.  Funny!)  It's Dina from Emo-tions Hair.  OK, now let's play a bit of catch up on the petite jewelry available @ PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, and, of course, it's all available at "biggie" ELEMENTAL JEWELRY as well.  Above is the Petite Adriana Necklace & Earrings in Lights--Peridot (shown above), Turquoise, Blue Moonstone, & Rhodochrosite, Silver or Gold, all in one texture-changing set.  I really like this set as it's a bit different, not a pendant or choker, more like a showpiece to set off any neckline.  It's also available in "Brights"--Amethyst, Spiderweb Obsidian, Amazonite, & Red Abalone. 


 I couldn't resist including this shot.  I'm at The Noble Storybook sim, a magnificent tribute to Beatrix Potter, and I'm standing on her desk!  How great is that for a little fairy?  Oh, and the jewelry--The Petite Kira Necklace & Earrings in "Cools"--Purple Agate, Sugalite, Peacock Chrysocolla, Turquoise, Blue Chaldedony, and Moonstone with Gold, Silver, & Black metal.  Also in "Warms"--Fire Opal, Fire Agate, Red Lace Agate, Amber, Ruby, and Red Italian Glass.  I have to tell you, this was a pain to adapt for petites.  LOL.  But, I think it was worth the effort.


 And, below, The Petite Lilliana Necklace & Earrings in "Classics"--Ruby, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, & Maw Sit Sit.  Also available in "Lights"--Rutilated Quartz, Pink Opal, Chrysocolla, & Ammolite--and "Brights"--Coral, Blue Jasper, Chrysoprase, & Charoite.  This one is really pretty and quite versatile.  I've worn it with casual clothes, evening clothes, and when I'm a fairy. 


You can get all of the jewelry shown here @ PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY and ELEMENTAL JEWELRY:

Kira At Skye Neist Point



Let's get away from formal jewelry for a bit.  This week, I'm wearing my jeans and taking a walk at Alex Bader's new place, Skye Neist Point.  As you might expect, this is a lovely sim with beautiful landscaping, and some good photo spots.  Above, I'm on the beach with sand between my toes.  I'm wearing the new Kira Necklace & Earrings from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.  This set features a teardrop pendant, swirled rings, and bunches of tiny beads in your choice of 6 semi-precious stones.  You can change the main stone, rings, and small beads independently, mixing the stones for various looks.  Above, I'm wearing the Kira Cools set with peacock chrysocolla, but the beads are turquoise.  Other choices include purple agate, sugalite, blue chalcedony, and moonstone.


In the bottom photo, I'm wearing the Kira Warms set, featuring ruby stone and rings, with fire opal beads.  Other stone choices in this set include fire agate, amber, red lace agate, and a pretty red Italian glass.  Both sets change from silver to gold.  You can find them at ELEMENTAL JEWELRY:

It All Starts With A Smile



I popped over to a sim called It All Starts With A Smile today and found a lovely little town with plenty of photo possibilities.  There is a beautiful town square, lots of little shops to pose in front of, and ice cream parlor....really nice build.  I'm wearing that great hair I picked up from D!VA Hair--I'm feeling regret that I didn't buy it in more than one color.  And, this is the newest jewelry release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, the Lilliana Necklace & Earrings.  When I made this set, I was thinking it would be a more formal set of jewelry, but I like it just fine with my pretty tops and jeans.  In the top photo, you see the set in "Brights"--choices include Blue Jasper, Coral, purple Charoite, and Chrysoprase, and of course you can change between gold and silver. 


I have been seeing a lot of pink this week, so I pulled out this lovely top from GField and paired it with the Lilliana "Lights" jewelry.  Here you see it in silver with pink opal stones, but you can also choose a pretty aqua Rutilated Quartz, blue Chrysocolla, or Ammolite with a blend of purples and golds. 


Last, but not least, is the "Classics" set--Ruby, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, or Maw Sit Sit.  The black onyx would have looked great with this black top, but I kind of like the combination of red and black.  You can have a look at all of the Lilliana sets, as well as some new Petite Jewelry if you drop into ELEMENTAL or PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, and catch it at the low introductory price of only 60L each.  Oh, and there is a fun April Group Gift Hunt going on at both the "biggie" and the petite shops--find the Daisy bunnies and you will have a complete set of jewelry!

Tessa In Wonderland...Or Almost!



I was doing the most recent Twisted Hunt, and I came upon a place called Almost Wonderland, a beautifully detailed place with an Alice In Wonderland theme.  If you drop in, be sure to go the whole route, following the rabbit down the hole, drinking the blue goop to get through the tiny door, etc.  Way too fun!  I'm also wearing a bunch of new, as well as some old items from my sl wardrobe.  The hair is a great new do from D!VA that is currently on sale at Collabor88.  You know I'm a D!VA fan, but I have to say this is one of the best I own.  The dress is a new one (at least for me) from Sn@tch, purchased at a bargain from one of the mob vendors.  I just bought the baby blues @ Mayfly Eyes, a new favorite.  And, of course, I'm wearing new jewelry from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--The Dazzling Daisy Necklace & Earrings in blues and greens. 


I like this new jewelry.  It has lots of texture changing options...the metal can be silver, gold, or copper, the main stones and center stones change between 4 choices (3 color sets available--blues, greens, and reds), the daisy petals change between a sparkling silver, gold, and copper, and the little freshwater pearls on the earrings can be a white, blue, or golden pearl.  The blue stones include Blue Chalcedony, Blue Lace Agate, Blue Abalone, and Turquoise.  (Here, I'm wearing the blue set with blue abalone stones, and turquoise daisy centers.)  The green set includes Chrysoprase, Chrysocolla, Jade, and Maw Sit Sit (shown below with chrysoprase stones & Maw Sit Sit centers).  And the reds include Fire Agate, Red Aventurine (actually kind of gold), Red Sea Coral, and Rose Quartz.


Here is a slurl to the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop:

Circe's Jewels



Circe, Greek goddess of magic, daughter of Helios & Perse, exiled to an island for murdering her husband (wonder what he did?).  Here she is, searching the woods for herbs to use in her potions.  When I was a child, my school library had a huge book about gods and goddesses.  It was filled with beautiful pictures of the immortals, and I loved to check it out and look at those pictures.  I am still fascinated by the tales and enjoy designing jewelry that I think the goddesses might wear.  Thus, the frequent theme.

I think Circe might have worn this jewelry, so it is named for her.  The Circe Necklace & Earrings will look great with your fantasy or role play dresses, as well as with formal attire.  Just use your imagination!  Plus, it is texture changing so it will give you many options without taking up too much inventory space.
I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Circe Necklace & Earrings.  Texture changing and available in 2 color sets--Classics and Brights.  Classics:  Malachite, Lapis, Garnet, Tiger Eye.  Brights:  Purple agate, Turquoise, Coral, & Peridot.  EJ mainshop:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/bono/221/224/22.
Hair:  Truth Hair--Alessandra in light browns.  Purchased full price.
Skin:  League Skins--Jen in pale.  Purchased full price.
Top Dress:  Evie's Closet--Aria in amethyst.  Purchased on sale.
Bottom Dress:  Snowpaws--Spree Dress in orchid.  I have no idea, could have been a lucky board or MM board gift.
Location:  Caverna Obscura.

Phaedra's Adornment


I've been snapping pics of  my standard size avatar and my petite self, so I decided to chunk the "biggie" and petite photos together in one post.  Usually, I make a necklace then I make earrings to match, but this time around, all I could think about were earrings.  So, I made this really cool pair of earrings--a hoop with little abalone beads attached with twisted wire, and a square stone dangling from the hoop.  And, of course, a necklace followed.  I'm calling this the Phaedra's Adornment Necklace & Earrings.  They come in 3 texture changing sets and surely anyone would find a color set that pleases them.  The stones include:  Turquoise, Sugalite, Green Turquoise, Fire Agate (shown above), Chrysoprase, Chrysocolla, Rose Quartz, Yellow Sapphire, Amethyst, Rube (shown below on petite me), Blue Jasper, and Spiderweb Obsidian.  Each set also includes 8 different Abalone choices for the beads.  I love colorful gemstones!


Here's petite me sporting a new outfit from Sister Fate--and it was a hunt gift for the Roses Are Red Hunt!  This was a fantastic hunt gift, a re-colored version of one of their regular outfits, including the lovely top, leggings, and tiny shoes.  And, I just had to throw in this photo of me and my friends to show you the wide variations in avatar size.  I'm a fairly tall gal, but my friend Celeste (in the tiara) is a little package.  Celette and Suzette are petites--now you can really see the contrast!  It's a challenge making jewelry to fit them.  Hey!  Where's their jewelry?!  lol.


I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Phaedra's Adornment Necklace & Earrings, Brights.  PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Phaedra's Adornment in Classics.  Also in Pastels.  Celeste's tiara is also from EJ.  Here's a slurl to the mainshop:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/bono/221/224/22.  The petite shop is right next door.
Skin:  League--Jen in pale.  Purchased full price.
Hair:  Diva Hair--Manon in citrine.  Purchased full price.
Eyes:  Mayfly--Liquid Light Mesh Eyes, amber.  Purchased on sale.
Top:  Mischief--Casual Cami in orange.  A group gift many years ago.  Mischief no longer exists.
Pants:  LeeZu--Yve Pants--hippie orange.  Purchased full price.
Shoes:  G Field--Knot Wedge Sandas, copper.  Purchased full price.
Red Petite Outfit:  Sister Fate--Petites Veronica.  From Roses Are Red Hunt.
Sorry, I have no idea what my friends are wearing!

Raquel Is Looking Forward To Spring!



I'm wishing for springtime, so this week I have to offer a new jewelry release called Raquel--a casual set with pretty, chunky stones in vivid colors.  This jewelry is perfect to wear with your jeans or with a cute spring dress.  There are 3 color sets from which to choose-- Lights, Bolds, and Earthtones--and here you see an example of each.  At the top, Earthtones, which includes this Spiderweb Obsidian.  I think you will like this black stone as much as I do.  It's difficult to come up with a black that has some character to set it apart, but this obsidian has white "spiderweb" veins running through it for just the right amount of variation.  Also included in Earthtones is a pretty Rutilated Quartz, Moonstone, and Amber.  The dangling pearl adds just enough of a "girly" touch.


Photo #2--The Lights set, which includes this beautiful Amazonite stone as well as a very lovely green Chrosoprase, Pink Opal, and Lavender Chalcedony.  Now, that's a set of springtime colors!


And, last but not least, I can never resist a set of bright Bold colors.  The Bold set includes this Amethyst and a gorgeous "peacock" Chrysocolla with blue and green shades, a peachy Coral, and Jade. 

Here's a slurl to the NEW ELEMENTAL JEWELRY location.  That's right, we had to move rather unexpectedly, so be sure to delete your old landmarks and get the new one.

I'm wearing:
