Hammer!

I just bought a small jewelry hammer... This is one of my first designs using hammered silver:

earrings with pink chalcedony.

Bracelets craze!

I recently got these gorgeous jasper stones. I love the colors so I made some stretch bracelets with them. You can wear one, or mix and match colors!

See the bracelets in my Etsy shop, ByVellamo.

Amber

A few years ago I had barely heard of amber... I didn't think it too valuable. But of course, I had only seen quite dark, boring looking amber, with little or no inclusions. It just looked a bit like plastic to me.

And then I moved to the North and I saw the real natural Baltic Amber... 

Baltic amber is considered to be the best variety of amber. Baltic amber is usually of a yellow, honey-like color, but may occur in many shades from pale yellow to dark brown. White pieces with a yellowish or bony tint, as well as green and even blue amber are rare.

See them in my Amber Collection.

Statement earrings!

Recently I have started making these long earrings in many colors, using a combination of stones, cloisonne beads and Swarovski crystals.

Scam

A few days ago, a scammer posted an assistant job ad on Craigslist Los Angeles forum with the contact email address sandra.rugina@yahoo.com. I do not own that email address. Since then I got around 10-15 emails on my email from people wondering if they got the right person; and I keep getting more.

I just want to say that if it does not come from MY email address, it is not true. I use a couple of email addresses, you can find the main one on my website or Facebook fan page. This bogus email address does not belong to me.

I should perhaps thank the scammer for gaining me a few new fans on my pages, but I am sorry for all the ones who thought it was a legit job opening.
