Jewellery private view

Did a private view of the jewellery that we designed. Long time dream come true.

Generally when I say that I am from India, people think that I am importing jewellery from there and selling it here in London.

Then I had to explain that it is all handmade in Britain.

Good response and we had a nice get-together.

A jewellery contest in Carline Perulla

Today, we have announced a contest on our facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/carlineperulla

And the winners will be randomly picked at an event in Barking on May 16, at 12-2 p.m.

I am also having a private view of the silver jewellery exclusively for people who are visiting the event.

Fingers crossed!

Silver leaves and gem beads

I dont know about other jewellery makers, but I am not able to complete one jewellery fully at a time.

I keep putting all the ones that need to be filed separately, polished separately, finished separately, but at the end I dont have any completed jewellery!

Which makes me frustrated at times because when I think I have made many pieces a day, and I am so satisfied with my outcome, end result - I dont see anything ready for a photograph!

And when my hubby comes back from office, I have a sheepish smile.

That is why, I always end up in putting less jewellery on the website.:)

But yesterday was a different day.

I finished four leaves, filed them, polished them, put Tourmaline, Aquamarine, Turqoise and Amethyst beads and surprise!!!! I had them ready for photograph at night!

And remember all four are different. They are not casted pieces but handmade with love and passion.

So here it is

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.
