Curious winter "Gold" story

You all will ask yourself: What does a bird has to do with gold?

So it happens that Aristotle described the migration of cranes in The History of Animals, adding an account of their fights with Pygmies as they wintered near the source of the Nile. He describes as untruthful an account that the crane carries a touchstone inside it that can be used to test for gold when vomited up. (This second story is not altogether implausible, as cranes might ingest appropriate gizzard stones in one locality and regurgitate them in a region where such stone is otherwise scarce)

True or not?

I wanted to share the story and the beauty and powerful appereance of the crane bird that I might take in the future for jewelry inspiration.

A Glance to Jewelry making

I wanted to give a glance of what is the process of jewelry making and how fascinating and intersting can be
more than selling or buying it.

I give all my love and passion making jewelry and so my first post of the year is dedicated to Jewelry making.

Happy New Year 2011!

I hope this Year will be Radiant as Diamonds!

Merry Christmas!

Xipec Totec (Our lord the flayed one)

As in every culture this god belongs to the Aztec mythology and religion. Being the god of agriculture, vegetation, the east, disease, spring, goldsmiths, silversmiths and the seasons.

In my journey as a jewelry Designer in each collection there's some of this deity who was a life-death-rebirth symbol.

Saint Eligius (Sant Eligio)

Saint Eligio is the patron of goldsmiths, blacksmiths, and all metal workers. He is generally represented as a bishop, a crosier in his right hand, holding a miniature church of chased gold on the open palm of his left hand.
He was born in Aquitaine (now France), into an educated and influential Gallo-Roman family. His father, recognizing unusual talent in his son, sent him to the goldsmith Abbo, master of the mint at Limoges.

His friend recalled him with love:

"He was tall with a rosy face. He had a pretty head of hair with curly locks. His hands were honest and his fingers long. He had the face of an angel and a prudent look. At first, he was used to wear gold and gems on his clothes, having belts composed of gold and gems and elegantly jeweled purses, linens covered with red metal and golden sacs hemmed with gold and all of the most precious fabrics including all of silk. But all of this was but fleeting ostentation from the beginning and beneath he wore a hairshirt next to his flesh and, as he proceeded to perfection, he gave the ornaments for the needs of the poor. Then you would see him, whom you had once seen gleaming with the weight of the gold and gems that covered him, go covered in the vilest clothing with a rope for a belt."

Love for the saints.

Silver Earrings

Beautiful and Elegant earrings.
I love to incorporate pearls in my pieces.I select the quality very carefully and make sure they have a special glow. When combined with the way I work precious metals the give the final touch.
Pearls are often seen as a symbol for a certain age. I certainly think any woman can wear then. What is most important it's your style.
