intoxicate yourself.

I love this ring and how Simona Canino has managed to blend amethyst, mirror mosaic and smalti here. What else can I say other than PERFECT. And some info about the meaning of the word *amethyst* from Wikipedia:

Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used in jewelry. The name comes from the Ancient Greek ἀ a- ("not") and μέθυστος methustos ("intoxicated"), a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. The ancient Greeks and Romans wore amethyst and made drinking vessels of it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication. 

Interesting, right?

New terracotta #mosaic earrings from Simona Canino on her Etsy store

I am happy to be sharing this with you cause it's definitely worth it. Nobody makes mosaic earrings the way Simona does. Available on ETSY!

the perfect gift for a #mosaic art blogger

I have just received the most wonderful gift through the post today and I am so HAPPY and GRATEFUL to my friend Simona who thought of creating this for me. I can't believe how beautiful and lightweight these earrings are! Her idea to create her own settings using terracotta is unique and is certainly a definite plus for those who want to ear mosaic jewellery but have been reluctant to do so because of their weight. Also, they are of a perfect size. Not too small, not too big!

And for those of you interested in buying something created by Simona, please note that for the month of DECEMBER there's FREE SHIPPING!

Here's the link to Simona's shop: www.etsy.com/shop/imosaicidisimona 

THANK YOU SIMONA.
