Bridal jewellery

Recently I was preparing for my cousin's wedding. Remember my blue dress and Lapis Lazuli jewellery.

Well finally got the pictures of what the bride wore for the wedding. A lovely Lakshmi pendant with small peacocks on the chain.

And also I have been raving about the lengthy malas that we wear with sarees and salwars.

A small peacock shape mala around this rich jewellery.

She also has the same Lakshmi ottiyanam. (Around the waist)

My blue dress and Lapis Lazuli jewellery

Last week attended my cousin's wedding in India.

Been planning for a long time about the dress and the jewellery. Off late have been crazy about the blue color especially Lapis Lazuli color and beads and stones. Anything with that color.

So decided to make the Lakshmi( Goddess of wealth and prosperity) pendant in silver with Lapis Lazuli beads.

Made the silver and the necklace in London, but did not have the time to do earrings.
So brought the wire and beads here.
Just two days before the wedding, was doodling designs for earrings. Suddenly struck a design.

Made it in half a day.
Went to my native town to hunt for the dress. Wanted a blue one. Searched in shops and found one.

Then the previous day I realized I did not have a bracelet. Luckily there was enough beads so made the bracelet.

My relatives and cousins were making fun of me seeing the preparations of my dress and jewellery. They said that even the bride will not make so much preparations:)

Finally everything was co-ordinated and many complimented on the jewellery.
Phew..

Made an open ring in silver today

Made this ring today. Not completely polished. But I liked that slightly blackish tint. Like oxidised.

Bead show in Esher, London. United Kingdom

Today visited the Bead show at Esher, London for the first time.

Been waiting for this for almost a month. I was so excited to see all bead shops at one place.

Oh Boy and what a sight it was.

I think there is not enough money always when you go somewhere like this. I loved everything that I saw. And wanted to buy everything.

Yesterday I had planned to buy more semi-precious beads for my crazy bracelet projects.

Bought interesting, lovely colorful beads. Will post bracelet projects later.

Going to post some interesting videos tomorrow.

Melting silver in a traditional way

I was surprised to see silver being melted in such a simple way. No hassles.
