Beauty of earth 

Emerald Fluorite 

I have decided to start a series on my blog dedicated to naturals stones. Some of them are used for jewelry making and some of them for industrial purposes only.

Each week I will choose 2 stones from my own collection and provide information on it.I invite you to come along with me on this journey of discovery. 

Because I have so many friends that love the color green, for my first post I choose the Emerald Fluorite.

Fluorite comes in a wide range of colors that is way it is called " the most colorful mineral in the world". Every color of the rainbow in , in various shades, are represented by fluorite.

 The most common colors you can find it are: 
                        purple, green, yellow or colorless.

 Less common are:
                        pink, red, white, brown and black.  

The color of this stone is determined by multiple factors as :
                        exposure to radiation, impurities.  


Natural fluorite mineral has ornamental uses.  It can be drilled into beads and used for jewelry, it can be used for ornamental carvings. And because is relatively soft it is used as a semiprecious stone.

This is all for this stone, next stone is going to be also of green color. An amazing stone called Fuchsite.

Thank you for stopping by !

Blue quartz necklace



One of may favorite stone to work with and use in my jewelry is the quartz. 

You can find it in many different shapes and colors. I do prefer blue quartz because it promotes serenity, tranquility and spiritual awakening. 

Using blue stones, especially when you are under stress, is said to surround you with calming, soothing energies to relieve stress and calm the mind.

Which type of quartz do you prefer and were do you find it at a good price?

Glass flowers

Beautiful handmade grace lampwork beads on black cotton cord

I found this lampwork beads on a website in the States many years ago. This online store quickly  became one of my favorite site.

 I can spend hours on this website watching their workshops and classes on different types of techniques.  All the materials used for this necklace are from the Artbeads.com.

I will try to include more lampwork in my pieces even if they tend to be a little bit more pricier. If you have more tips or tricks, techniques and advice for lampork pls share it in  the comment section below. 
Also, were do you by your beads, findings and components at a decent price? 


New year- New resolutions, new handmade projects




    This year I promised myself that I will play more with materials and techniques. I fell that I've been overwhelm by fear of perfection. I was so afraid to just start trying  new products like peyote stitch or endless loom.

Also I will use more materials like silver, crystals and handmade glass beads like the one from this necklace .

Those glass beads are so, so beautiful. I love purple and I think they are a perfect match with the purple quartz.

The purple quartz was bought from a store in Montreal. They don't have as much of choices as I would like but it's one of my favorite store here were I live. The store name is "Club beads" in case you are looking for beads.






Happy 2019 friends!
