Samarkand crown jewels

My biggest task so far:

I met Lanalii Nishi October, 13th at the opening of the beautyful Freyas Desire on the island of asgard. She seemed to like my jewelry and asked me if i could develop the crown jewels for her and Creyes Beresford, the soon to be queen and king of Samarkand.

I had a picture of the symbol of the city of Samarkand:



and the titel "golden rose" for Lanalii to start with.

I choose to trace the outlines of the symbols with tiny prims to create the crests and then merge them for the final Samarkand royal crest.

The coronation was held on November, 3rd at the palace of Samarkand.
It was a wonderful ceremony and a great party afterwards!
I took a lot of pictures, you can look at them at my flickr place: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ca_sands/

These are the crown jewels i made for the coronation of Creyes Beresford and Lanalii Nishi as Khagan (king) and Khanum (queen) of Samarkand:

Lanalii's jewels:



Creyes' crown jewels:




Each got a crown, a royal necklace and a handpiece with the crests on them.
Additionally they got a special necklace to give to their loyal followers...


And as a little extra... the Coat of Arms Shield of the new Royal family:




As a reward i was promoted to the Royal Tala Saaz (goldsmith) of Samarkand, a title that i wear with honour and pride!

Cat's heart

Around October, 10th Salamander Maroon asked me if i could create a necklace with a heart as a special gift to Cat Gisel. After some days of fiddling with tiny pearls "Cat's heart" was born:



It is made out of 119 prims, the heart itself being 83 ;-)
I learned a lot about positioning 2mm and 1.6mm pearls onto 3 dimensional surfaces while creating this...

Balance of Power

The Balance of Power came to life after i created some crosses with pentagrams on them. It seemed neccessary to create a "light" as well as a "dark" version to keep the balance...

(below is the text of the group notice i sent out for this)

Greetings, you Fighters and Warriors out there!

This time i made necklaces for men. Real MEN, that is!

To keep the Balance of Powers intact we need fighters for the good as well as the evil forces in the multiverse!

(If the need arises i will create corresponding jewelry for the Ladies too...)

best regards,
ChrisAlex, creator of powerful artifacts ;-)

Trapped! earrings

One evening while showing some friends how to play with tiny prims i put together these tiny earrings:



A small red pearl cought in the middle of a silver cage, surrounded by darkness...
That poor little pearl is:

Trapped!

These tiny earrings bring that extra sparkle into your life. You can be sure that only those you look really close can see the mystery that lies within them!

The earrings come in a nice gift box.

Spine claws

Something completely different: a warrior asked me if i could make some implants for him. So here they are...

These claws were implanted into a warriors spine.

They protect the back and are a vicious weapon in close combat!

I take no responsibility for damage done to others or furniture ;-)

White Laurel of Peace

This is a custom creation for a good friend of mine. He asked me to design his crest for the homestone "White Laurel of Peace". The design was the most complicated so far. I made necklaces and hand pieces in a male and female version each. A picture of the female hand piece can be seen below.



Since this is a custom creation i will not sell this to anyone.

Brisingamen Pentagram necklace

The Brisingamen, necklace of the norsk goddess of love and beauty, Freya.

Although very little is known about the actual looks of this precious necklace many sources in the internet show this pentagram as the "Brisingamen Pentagram".

(should anyone possess knowledge about the look of the "real" Brisingamen, please tell me...)
