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.

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.

ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/bono/221/224/22

I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Raquel Pendant & Earrings, Texture Changing sets in Bolds, Lights, and Earthtones, and each changes between Silver & Gold.  You can resize for a custom fit, and adjust the glow, shine, and full bright to your liking.
Hair:  Truth Hair--Rhonda in browns.  Purchased full price.
Skin:  League Skins--Jen in pales.  Purchased full price.  League has some very pricey skins, but OMG are they beautiful.  I had to save my lindens for months to buy this, but I'm really enjoying it.
Eyes:  Mayfly--Liquid Light Mesh Eyes in dusky hazel.  Yep!  I'm sporting some new eyes!  I didn't think I'd ever find some I liked as well as my old ones from Sin Skins, but these are just beautiful.  They come in a huge array of colors, and are very reasonably priced at only $99L each.  I really appreciate that, and I will be back for more.  This pair was purchased on sale for 60L!
Top:  The Sea Hole--LaceBack Tank, which I have in several colors.  Purchased on sale.

Viva Italiano!

I really like pizza.  How can you go wrong?  Yummy, fresh-baked bread with tomatoes, basil, cheese...mmmm.  That's right, my favorite is the Marguerita pizza.  I was exploring Solaria, an Italian sim that you must go see, and I found this lovely cafe.  Well, I just had to sit down for some pizza...too bad it's made of pixels!  LOL.  After my delicious lunch, I took a walk around Solaria--there are lots of details to see, so I will certainly need to pay another visit.

Yes, I am sporting a new skin--did you ever think it would happen?  This is a League skin, and I think it's just beautiful.  I'm wearing a new top from Sn@tch, called Ultra Lounge.  It's a classic tank design, but with a dressier twist.  And it's perfect for showing off this new long pendant from ELEMENTAL.  The Drew Pendant & Earrings are available in 2 color sets--Darks & Lights.  Both are texture changing so you can choose from gold or silver and 4 different stones.  The "Darks" set includes green Maw Sit Sit, blue Jasper, Ruby, and Amber.  The "Lights" set includes some stones that will be great for your spring-time wardrobe--pink Rhodochrosite, green Peridot, blue Larimar, and yellow Aventurine.  I have the long pendant layered with a simple little Heart Pendant, also texture changing.  It can be gold or silver, and the heart can be plain gold or silver, or a bold green, red, blue, or gold. 

All are available right now at the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop:

Planning A Petite Wedding??

Let me apologize for the long post, but I have a ton of petite newness to show off this week--so let's get down to business!  This is a classic ELEMENTAL jewelry set--The Petite Chloe Pendant & Earrings--which is available in petite as well as "biggie" size.  The long pendant changes texture between gold & silver, and there are 3 stone sets from which to choose.  These first two photos show the "Neutrals" set, with Opal, Black Tourmaline, Silver Abalone, and Tortoise Shell stones.  Also shown in these photos is the new Petite Engagement & Wedding Rings set from PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.  I've been working on these for some time now, and I'm very excited to finally have them ready for release!  Shown here is the Yellow Gold Engraved set, but you can also get a non-engraved version as well as Antique Gold, White Gold, or Black Gold.  The diamond changes tint--Classic Diamond, Ice Diamond, Pink, Blue, Green, & Gold Diamond.  And, you can adjust the glow, shine, full bright, and transparency for various effects.  The rings are resizable for a perfect petite fit.  There are also plain unisex wedding bands available--engraved or plain--which are texture changing between the various gold colors.

Each set has a bonus--A "Show Ring" pose, because you just have to show your friends, right?!

Turquoise Rules!

I'm on a petite photo roll!  I keep mentioning that turquoise is something we need to be paying attention to...so here is another turquoise offering.  That just tickles me to death because I've always been a fan of turquoise--I don't suppose you've picked up on that.  This is the Petite Cadence Necklace & Earrings.  Now, it's texture changing and there are three color sets to choose from, because I can never make up my mind.  (It's kind of like when I was a teenager and would go shopping with my Dad.  "I just don't know which one I like the best"....."Oh, honey, just get them both".  HeHe.)  The metal doesn't change, but the stones do.  Set #3 is shown above and has turquoise, chrysoprase, red jasper, and sugalite with this lovely radiating silver medallion.  Set #1 is shown below--another silver motif with moonstone, red sea coral, amber, and emerald. 

Set #2 is in the bottom photo.  It features a gold and onyx filigree medallion with stones in onyx, lapis, amethyst, and garnet, and is a bit more formal.   Oh, and that's the new Petite Engagement & Wedding rings I'm wearing in the bottom photo--more on that later.  Although these are photos of the petite version of the Cadence jewelry, all of them are available in "biggie" size at the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop, conveniently located right next door to the PETITE mainshop. 

Here are the slurls that will take you to both shops:

Petite Sylvain

I am sooo behind in my blogging!  It seems there has been an issue with uploading photos, and I've just figured out how to get around it until it's fixed.  I'll be playing a bit of catch up....
Here you see the petite version of the Sylvain Necklace & Earrings.  This lovely set is texture changing and comes in 2 lovely stone sets with 4 stone choices in each.  It's pretty much just like the standard size set in the last post, so I won't bore you with the details.   But, I do think I should have pulled out my fairy wings!

Coming up...
The new Chloe jewelry, and new Petite "All My Love" Engagement and Wedding Rings!
