Gates of Doriath
3/27/2014
Necklace made by hand out of fine silver, sterling silver and labradorites, inspired by the forests of Doriath from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion" and "The Children of Hurin". Doriath was the realm of Sindar - Grey Elves - ruled by Elu Thingol and Melian the Maia.
The necklace is adorned with two trees, which branches and roots are interlacing into Celtic triquetra knots. At some angles, the dark green stone you can see in the center flashes light, warm shades of green. Thanks to its unusual inclusion, sometimes you can see also a line of light blue colour on its left side. Is this Luthien dancing...?

Halls of Thranduil
3/16/2014
Inspiration for this necklace came from J.R.R. Tolkien's prose. The beautiful, green stone you can see in the center reminded me of Eryn Galen - Greenwood the Great - known later as Mirkwood or Taur-nu-Fuin. The pendant is adorned with two pleached trees - a common motif in elven architecture. Maybe these are the columns in one of the halls of Lord Thranduil's palace, maybe they form the gate to Silvan Elves' kingdom, or perhaps these are just the trees, growing freely in the mighty ancient forest.
This piece was totally hand formed out of fine silver, labradorite and lots of little moss agates and peridots. Oxidized and partially polished.
Shades of roses
1/23/2014
Some time ago my grandma gave me few stones she found in her drawer- this coral was one of them. I'll finally be able to give it back to her in a wearable form ;)
Roses on the little "cap" were formed by hand of fine silver by Drakonaria's instructions. It was oxidized and polished.
