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.
A dab of spring
1/03/2014
In the middle of winter, I just had to make something in green ;) This little pendant is made of fine silver, sterling silver, tiny olivines and peridots. Each branch and leaf was shaped by hand. Total length, including the bail and stones, is 4,8 cm.
The last colours of Autumn
11/29/2013
This piece was inspired by the end of autumn season. In October and November, when everything seems to become more dull, the contrast of the last bright yellow leaves and the dark, almost black tree-trunks is very refreshing. It's like the last touch of bright colours before winter.
This pendant was made by hand of silver and two yellow cubic zirconias. It is oxidized and partially polished.
