As Soon As I Get Excited About Fall...

...the temperature rises to 24 degrees with a humidex of 30! It looks like swimming season might not be as over as I thought. To celebrate that now instead of the crispness of fall and all that, may I present some ocean-themed jewellery.

First up is a necklace called Pale Moonlight, featured at right. The pink and purple pearls are so cool and inviting. The centerpiece is a mermaid cameo set in a vintage brass setting with a backing of complimentary fabric. Beneath that, a long crystal teardrop hangs from more luminous pearls. Beautiful, unique, and limited.




Next we have another unique number called Golden Sands. This one is warm and elegant, draping nicely at about 20". This one also features a mermaid cameo, this time in a different brass setting. Bronze pearls, gold filled chain and a small asymmetrically placed toggle clasp make this necklace a one-of-a-kind.



So, what kind of weather will we have tomorrow?

New Things for Fall!

Hello there!

Fall is upon us (in a few days, officially), and here in Ontario things are really cooling down. This summer was pretty fall-like itself, actually, but there were a few weeks in August that really made me think about swimming instead of long sleeved sweatshirts. Alas, those times are over, and now I get to think about things like Hallowe'en and that apple orchard I visited in Kindergarten. To celebrate, I've made some new stuff!

Behold above, the Autumn Apples necklace! It combines cherry quartz with freshwater pearls and lots of other things for a luxurious and distinctly fall look.

Presenting a cool counterpoint to the Autumn Apple necklace is the Night River necklace. Blue goldstone round beads lend the appearance of the night sky while fancy cut labradorite nuggets with plenty of flash remind one of tumbling gray waters. Plenty of other things help to make up the cool uniqueness of this necklace, from tiny garnets to dark pewter freshwater pearls.

So this is what fall will look like! More good news is that the more distinctly summer pieces in my store will soon be on sale, so if you've had your eye on something fun and colourful for a while, mosey on over and check out the sale section.

See you soon, and happy September =)

A Poodle

Hi folks, sorry for another delay. I've been hard at work on my new mysterious line of jewellery, and also caring for this cute little guy!


His name is Lambchop, and he's currently our foster dog. He's a poodle-spaniel, and we think he's the sweetest little thing ever. He's quite different from Joanie (our previous foster dog whom we loved, and who died of heartworm complications); he hasn't had the tough life she did, so he's better socialized to living with humans. We're having a wonderful time living with him.

As soon as I get a suitably obscure detail of some of my new work done, I'll post pics of it here for you to examine and marvel over. I know you do that. Even if you don't...you will be blown away by what's coming next from VL. I'm excited! =D

See you soon,

GM.

Forewarning!

I am now working on a new jewellery line, seperate from Vera Luna. It may end up a part of it after all, but from the plans I've got now, it's pretty different from anything I'm doing under VL. I'm going to be all annoyingly secretive today, but I can tell you that the new line will combine two of my favourite things (which I can't define because it would be as good as spilling all the beans).

I'll let slip more details soon!

Because in Ontario, spring is the new summer.

Printemps Necklace!

This necklace is a sweet study in springtime and summer. Delicate sterling silver chain leads to a textured brass ring, from which a bright green resin leaf hangs next to a cranberry-coloured Czech glass flower. Total length is about 20”.

I made and sold the first version of this back when summer was just a crazy dream. Now that summer is more of a subtle disappointment here in Ontario, I thought I'd release it to the public. Now we can all get excited about semi-warm rainy days instead of sunny heat and beaches, since it rains every day :\

I also apologize for my long absence. I should have posted a warning about it, but I had a family situation that needed tending to.

Thanks for reading, and see you again soon =)

Whiskey Flower Bracelet

New listing! This one's a tribute to Whiskey, the best friend that ever came out of a bottle. Way better than a genie. Sure, Whiskey has terrible judgment and is all too gifted at convincing you otherwise, and you never wake up after a night spent with Whiskey without a headache, but come on. Just saying...wearing this bracelet is far safer than drinking it. So here it is!

This bracelet is a sassy shot of warmth with a bit of bite and a smooth finish! Flat smooth ovals of grey labradorite are linked together with gold filled wire and a gold filled toggle clasp. A warm whiskey coloured Czech glass flower dangles from one end.

Drink up! You won't regret this one, I promise.

Introductions!

Welcome to my jewellery blog! My name is Georgia, if you don't already know, and I live in Southern Ontario. My jewellery is many things, but I always strive for it to be high-quality and well-made. My designs fall into two main categories: Vera Luna, classy stuff for classy ladies, and Vera Luna Hearts, fun and funky stuff for fun and funky ladies who are also a little bit classy. I'll use any material that inspires me, from gemstones like labradorite and howlite, to vintage elements like real Bakelite (one of the earliest forms of plastic!), to polymer clay, because it's fun and versatile and I can have some really creative results in just a few hours.

I'm going to introduce a piece or two every few days here, counting down the days until I open my shop on Etsy. After the shop opens, I'll probably talk about inspirations and new things I'm working on, stuff like that. FYI, I also write underground horror, so you may also hear about a little bit of that.

Speaking of horror, a good friend of mine, underground writer B.D., has written some descriptions for the things I've made. While not based 100% in our version of reality, they are true to the pieces, in a loose sense, and for real facty facts I will supply a more traditional description underneath, or above or beside, his.

To start us off right, I'm going to introduce the first pieces in a new post, so you, the reader, don't get overwhelmed and navigate away from my page before I get to impress you with my awesomeness. So stay tuned, because I will be right back!
