RozenKavalier by Rozorregalia

RozenKavalier by Rozorregalia

Two of my fave purchases from the Jewelry fair are the RosenKavalier hat from Rozorregalia and Amuck Amuck Amuck ! from Balderdash. Not that there is no beautiful jewelry at jewelry fair… but these two hats just really stand  out and I wanted to share them with you. Both hats come as they are. The RosenKavalier has a Hat + Hair option, but neither of the hats are scripted to chancge flowers or colours.

Jewelry Fair starts tomorrow!!

The fair will be open from Friday September 18th to Sunday September 27th.  Please TP in using a random choice from the 8 landmarks below, so  traffic can be divided over the 2 sims and help reduce lag.

The fair is designed as a continuous hedge maze – there are no dead ends, and if you keep walking in one direction you’ll get through the whole thing.   The chosen charity is Oxfam – you can read more about them at www.oxfam.org – and visitors will be given lots of opportunities to help out. Oxfam happens to be one of my favourite charities, for the ability to gift your friends cute pressies like a goat… or a water pump… which then will be delivered to people who really need it more than your friend. They do great work also in case of disasters, so donate generously if you’re so inclined (and remember, even 1L$ helps!!)

So…. what can you expect?

*over 130 Jeweler’s creations

*Dunk Tank – dunk a Jeweler (or a Linden!) for charity

*Kissing booth – kiss a Jeweler for charity

*one of a kind auctions – bid on original jewelry pieces never to be owned by anyone else on the grid

*jeweler resources area – how to make your own jewelry!

*demonstrations and classes on jewelry making (schedule handed out at the fair)

Many of the vendors are selling special pieces which 50% of the money goes directly to charity. Read more about the fair at the jewelry fair blog!

See you at the fair… leave your jewelry and other excessive prim items and lagalicious inventory items (ao’s, mysti tools or other gadgets) at home.. you can buy pretties at the fair, ya know. And get rid of the anti-inspect shields… really… jewelry fair is not about you or your fabulous outfit… people come for the jewelry!

Endless

Miskat Qinan, builder of Endless, has been venturing into the tiny prim twisting and created some jewelry. This it the Endless Black 001. The black series is designed to be worn by unconventional and fashionable guys, but it looks pretty good on a woman’s neck as well. It’s 125 prims of tastefulness… not bad mr. Qinan…. not bad at all. As we speak a new necklace in the female, white, series is in the making. I’ll post a photo of it when it’s available.

With the intention of keeping the jewelry line somewhat exclusive, Miskat decided for now not to set up a shop for the Endless jewelry line. If you are interested in acquiring one of his designs, please feel free to contact Miskat Qinan in world.

Finally my friend and master jeweler Lucas Lameth has decided it is worthy to be released: Gaea. Gaea, or Gaia in Greek, is the Mother Goddess, risen out of Kaos, and giving birth to all.

Lucas has been working on this necklace for a long time, meticulously creating the gem textures, crafting the sculpties and torturing the poor prims into their current state of perfection. Or, as Lucas states on his blog, ” I don’t want to release just anything. I want to give you my best.” Luc, I think you succeeded… again.

Luc is Back in Town

luc-maya-ii    luc-undine

….and with two stunning releases, if I may say so. Maya was Lucas Lameth’s first sculptie piece, back in June 2007. Now he has made Maya II (worn in the left photo), with better stone textures and way more sophisticated sculpties, but with the same organic, stylish ” feel”  that much of Luc’s jewelry has for me. Undine (to the right) is a cascade of gems, and the piece is so very adequately named Undine, since she’s one of the 8 elemental spirits, representing water.  I’m wearing the Dawn Prism version, which has an opaline iridiscence to it.

Further I’m wearing Lionskins fair 30, Artilleri’s new hair Rina in Toffee… kudos for Antie for the new textures, you rock! And my bikini.. my lovely pink, sheer bikini.. It’s an oldie in my inventory by Simone, and must have been one of the first items I ever bought.

Surprise

Surprise

Now that was a nice surprise when I started up SL this morning and found a photo of Miriel‘s GORGEOUS sim on my screen.  Next time you visit for your jewelry/eye/hair or shape fix, be sure to explore the sim too, ok? The landscaping is amazing, and the trees that Miriel has been making are among the best I’ve even seen in SL. Besides, there are some goodies hidden on the Island… The Golden Cage is an ongoing treasure hunt, with a beautiful, albeit sad, story that will give you clues about where to find the next exclusive item.

[update] unfortunately as of June 20, 2009 Miriel is closed and does no longer exist.

Look of the Day

I’ve not been posting a lot of outfits lately… basically because I’ve been too busy with other things, but today I was checking out some shops, and I just felt like dressing up a bit.

Linda Dark, pink lips dark eyes by Hart Larsson @ PXL Creations
Vexed hair by Imani Moseley @ Fetish Boutique
Gisaci Lima Trenchcoat Verde by Juju Armidi @ Armidi
Demi Cami (tinted) by Nephilaine Protagonist @ Pixeldolls (not found in the shop… tintable tops in general are ideal to match in outfits)
Gisaci Dalia Pump Cerise by Lola Marquez @ Armidi
The Heiress purse by CJ Carnot @ Fleur
Kau’i disc jewelry by Lucas Lameth @ Earthtones Boutique (earrings from the set, layered necklace sold separately)
(Shape by me, work in progress, not released for now).

Speaking of the Kau’i set… I just had to include a close up… look at the shadow!! No, not the shading.. the shadow…. this necklace casts the subtlest shadow on my chest. Lucas has been experimenting again and.. it works out so well!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Serendipity

With all the newness that hits the grid on a daily base, one would almost forget about the incredibly skilled designers that have been working in SL for a lot of time, and giving their best to the community. Last night as I went to a little impromptu event over at Sue Stonebender’s Comfort & Joy log cabin, it struck me again that she is one of those people that quietly works, makes awesome things, gives a lot to the community and is never featured on the blogs. Never? Well…… not like never ever… but hardly ever…. so I decided to dig into my inventory and see what Serendipity goodies I have in there that are nice to share with you.

Sue’s designs are mostly great classics… (emerald cut) diamonds, and other precious stones and pearls combined with excellent metal textures. But she also has a nice section of celtic and contemporary jewelry that won’t disappoint you.
Above is the Estate jewelry, emerald cut sapphires adorned with brilliant diamonds. The pendant is on a string of antique ivory pearls, that wonderfully drop down your back. The sapphire does have a touch for on/off sparkle. It is available with a lot of different gems.
This photo shows the Chatelaine set. The Chatelaine is one of the most classic pearl sets that you can imagine… a pearl choker with a teardrop pearl pendant… and teardrop pearl earrings.
The Evangeline is more of a show off. An elaborate pendant of birthstones (scripted for changing) encrusted in diamonds. The earrrings come in different versions. I remember picking these because I think they look awesome on a sleek evening gown, as sole jewelry, so without the necklace or anything. Wearing the full set I feel over accesorised. But hey… for the photo it is ok.
The skin is Rosemar’s latest addition to the collection, in espresso. Don’t know whether Rosemary has released them already, but if not.. they should be shortly. The hair is ETD’s Tyra in ebony.
