Just Pearls! black

Since the plain, elegant pearl necklaces turned out to be an article often asked for (and in black, too) i made a complete set in black:

a short necklace (preattached to the spine to be easily combined with either the long or the double stranded)

a long necklace

a double stranded necklace

small earrings and

long earrings

in one "Mega set" or to be bought piece by piece.

Useful info: my jewelry and the "shiny" thing

My lovely Natasja told me she couldnt see some details in some of my creations. It turned out she hadent activated the "shiny" setting in her graphics settings. Maybe this is a default in SL?

Since my creations all rely on the shinynes of the materials this should be turned on...

So now i include the following note in my new sets:

Thank you for purchasing these fine jewels!

To enjoy them the way i designed them it is essential that you set the "Bumpmapping and Shiny" switch in the
preferences menu / Graphic Details on:



otherwise you see something like this:

Infinity! set gold / green

(Text taken from my ad on shop.onrez.com)

Made of the finest tortured prims and without any textures or bling scripts,

this necklace and earrings reveal their true beauty only to those who take a close look.

Watch the sunset reflect inside the hollowed beads and dream of:

Infinity !



This gold / green edition was made to harmonize with that beautiful black/golden dress i wear on the snapshot ;-)

Just Pearls!

You surely know the problem: you found the perfect dress for that ball, but your jewelry case just wont show the right necklace to go with it.....

You do not have to look any further!

Here comes the solution: this plain elegant pearl necklace and the small pearl earrings add that little extra to make your outfit complete!

Just pearls! are made of finest prim pearls only,no strings, textures or bling added!

A "short" version of the set is also available.

Infinity! necklace

This was my second creation. I played with spheres, twisted and hollowed them. Using the infinity sign i used on my bicolor series before i made the centerpiece (10 pearls cought in a hollow sphere behind the infitity sign).

A Glow in the Dark!

On the evening of September, the 18th, while talking with my friends Aita and Heckbert, i played with a "skullptie" and some horns and "alas" "A Glow in the Dark" was born:



We decided to make this available as a limited edition of 10.

Infinity bicolor bracelet male

The male version of this timeless bracelet comes in inverted colors, and is made more massive to better fit a strong mans arm!

LinkRez tool

Ahhhh, the bad, bad L-word...

Some people think using tools like the fantastic LinkRez script made by Ged Larsen automatically disqualyfies a jeweler. I beg your pardon: noone would be able to pay jewelry in RL if jewelers didnt use automated tools (machines) to support their work.

Whenever i have to use necklaces or similar structures i can concentrate on designing the centerpieces and beads, programming the design and manually correct the results i get from Ged's "machine".

It really helps a lot to save time for me to create new designs instead of having to align bead by bead manually.

Another big advantage is that i can use this machine to create perfectly fitting jewelry by measuring the clients neck.


If anyone thinks (s)he can make better creations than mine by just buying Ged's tool and pushing a button: sure, go ahead! Show me your creations!


To be honest: i think no good jeweler will lose profit just due to the existence of these tools, but maybe one or the other might even create more wonderful things if (s)he got more time by using them...

If you want the ready made product look more "natural" you can always adjust the beads a little after creating the necklace ;-)

Infinity bicolor, my first attempt in creating jewelry

Just around the beginning of September 2007 i stumbled over an infinity sign while i was torturing some prims. Adding some rings in different sizes and colours i made my first set, the Infinity bicolor set:

In the beginning...

Once upon a time there was a girl (or was it a man?) called ChrisAlex Sands.
(S)he lived in the fabulous world of Second Life where (s)he became, after trying several other professions ;-)... a jeweler.

This blog is about the life and the creations of ChrisAlex, my avatar(s) in second life.

(Where i actually i started as a woman, nowadays i switch between both, just as neccessary to fit the jewelry i am creating or have to show to someone...)

Behind the keyboard i am a man, happily married and unfortunately not able to create such nice jewelry as i can inside second life (SL).

When i started in SL i soon realized there where thousands of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and whatever made for every taste, but: many of them really hurt my eyes!

All this "bling, bling" (made by particle emitting scripts inside the jewelry), many "fake" items using just a board textured with a picture of some diamonds to create a "crown"...

Then i stumbled over the wonderful creations made by Random Calliope.

From now on i knew that there where different ways to create fine jewelry in SL and my desire to do this myself grew.

Someday i started by analysing some of the pieces i was able to get, tried to recreate close copies of what i saw:
hmm, maybe if i use a cylinder, cut it here... no... a tube then, maybe... no, not either... maybe then if i twist this and cut here.... bingo!

Of course i will never give out any of the items i "recreated" that way, for i respect and admire the original designers work to much!

But that way i learned how to create and use what is called "micro prims" in second life.

I use them to assemble any design that comes to my mind (or to create whatever a customer may want).

I will try to document my creations here to make them visible to people outside the world of second life too....

Have fun, whatever you do,
ChrisAlex Sands
