Gelang Nuansa Tanah

Suatu hari kami menemukannya, si Batu Indah.

Adalah batu Garnet yang masih mentah dengan tekstur kasar dan warna alami yang oh indahnya. Menurut kami, Garnet memiliki warna spesial yaitu mirip minuman Cola. Keindahannya sangat sulit ditangkap kamera. Terkadang kamera menangkapnya seperti hitam. Terkadang lagi seperti coklat.

Karena jumlahnya yang sangat terbatas, kami memutuskan untuk membuat beragam gelang etnik. Gelang ini cocok untuk sahabat yang suka gelang berbatu sedikit lebih besar dari umumnya dengan design yang berbeda. 

 Kami jatuh cinta dengan paduan warna alami gelang ini. 

Bernuansa natural yang dicerahkan oleh Citrine berwarna alami madu.

Bumi terdiri dari 4 jenis batu alam yaitu Garnet, Pyrite, Citrine dan Jasper.

 Langit berwarna lebih cerah. 

Kami mendapatkan batu Jasper biru ini dalam jumlah terbatas. 

Warna birunya memikat hati dan kami suka merangkainya dengan warna kontras seperti ungu, merah dan keemasan.

Tanah adalah design terakhir. Bernuansa natural dgn sedikit sentuhan biru dari batu Lapiz Lazuli dan Sodalite. Sungguh exotis.

Setiap Batu berbeda karakternya walaupun dari jenis yang sama. Tidak ada batu yang persis serupa karena mereka dilahirkan oleh alam tanpa campur tangan manusia. Setiap batu pula yang membuat kami jatuh cinta lagi dan lagi dan lagi. Setiap batu pula yang memberi kami inspirasi :)

Semoga sahabat juga menemukan inspirasimu :)

Salam hangat,

We are about to close our Promotion for Anona Collection tomorrow.

We're so happy to blast 10% off to show our thanksgiving to our customers.

Our customers is our power chargers. Their appreciation and support always encourage us to do more.

That is why we keep on upgrading our material quality, improving our service and providing more alternatives to solve their needs.

For example, we have offered more gold typed chains in the store since last month. Previously, we only had Gold Plated Chain for our Rare & Raw Collection. Our Gold Plated Chain is already safe for skin means it is free from lead and nickel content. But we understand that the gold layer is very thin and vanishes very quickly. While it is safe for skin, it is not so great for eyes.

Hence, we offer more alternative i.e. Gold Filled Chain. Gold Filled chain has very different structure from Gold Plated. Gold plated has less than 0,5% gold content because it is gold dipped only. Gold Filled chain has at least 5% gold content to be qualified as Gold Filled. With well usage and storage, the gold will stay up to 2 years. Note that Gold Filled is not to be mistaken with Gold.

Our Gold Filled chain is available by request for Rare & Raw collection. By the way, it is very affordable and worth the value too.

Please find below some of our Rare & Raw collection that will be a great match to the GF chain.

Its uniquely random pointy shape inspired us to name it Kryptonite.

It is actually the gorgeous raw Rock Quartz.

The shape of the stone is amazingly unique and irreplaceable. 

Our  timeless favorite is this Clear Amethyst Pendant.

Don't you agree about its gorgeous natural purple and all the cutting traces it has?

Clear Green Amethyst is super feminine and exotic.

Its has very light green hues in its translucent character. 

 This petite Amethyst is uniquely has pear shape and eyes similar to figure 8. 

Ain't it gorgeous?

Another Petite Amethyst in other shape.

The stone's eyes seem like a mini archipelago surrounded by snowy ocean :)

We hope you enjoy our last 2 days Promotion and do feel free to contact us for more about the Gold Filled Chain.

We're happy to serve you

Happy weekend

Silk and Stones

Hola!! :)

It was just in a snap that I suddenly had the urge to make some tassel necklaces.

It was last week. And, really just out of the blue. 

Honestly, I have been seeing a lot of tassel necklaces and somehow we just didn't the click. Making jewelries for me is a dance. The design or concept is the music while the hands, brain and eyes are the dancers. And in my case, I have to get the song first before I can dance. There are days when I just didn't make new pieces at all. But, the other days, I might be so productive and just could not stop until all ideas are transformed into reality.  

So, tassel necklaces have finally invited me to their wonderland. Here is some tassel necklaces I made and short stories behind them :) 

 Luca is my very first tassel necklace. I want to make tassel necklaces in my way.

Simple but still has a magical sprinkle of ethnic touch. 

 Ludha is the second piece and sold in minutes to my very friendly customer who happened to be my co worker back in the corporate world. Thank you mba Riana. Don't you just love its bright red tassel and translucent blue stones?

 Luma represents feminine in modern way combining the contrast of pink, grey and a bit of rustic touch. I used small Rose Quartz stones to cater to the needs for lighter and humble look. 

 Gama is the only monochrome made so far. It is in charming soft mint. Using Amazonite, Chrysoprase and mint tassel. Hope you love this too.

And finally,  The Raida. It has luxurious and sexy ruby red and mysterious black silk tassel. 

Plus, the rough stone in the pendant just perfectly balanced it all by bringing the rustic feel.

We hope you are excited with our tassel necklaces.

We'll be launching more tassel necklaces by mid October. 

Oh! Have I mentioned that they are one of a kind too?

Happy weekend :)

Our Thursday Darlings: New Rare and Raw Collection

Thursday is here! :)

Thursday is an exciting day! Not so far from the early week and so close to the weekend already.
Ain't it just the best day to plan the weekend?

Today, we launched our new Rare & Raw collection to kick off the weekend spirit *winks winks*

We're always so in love with Rare & Raw, the stones are amazingly gorgeous. I hope the pictures below are able to capture their true natural beauty. They are much better in real than in the picture, actually.

So so in love with these gorgeous pieces.

Genuine Amethyst is cut geometrically. It is petite and charming. 

Comes in two kinds of stone quality. Highlighted here is the clear quality Amethyst.

Ah! They are just stunning :) 

We proudly present our Gift Series. They are wrapped in gold plated frame.

We use gold plated chain that is safe for skin. They are lead free and nickel free. 

 Look at this beautiful Marquise Agate! Oh, it sparkles just like we breathe.
It is covered with countless sugary crystal. And its color is so feminine and elegant.

Another Marquise Agate pendant in her exotic bright pink :) How lovely it is to match with its gold frame. We also have gold filled chain in case you want to upgrade your chain quality. It is much higher quality than gold plated. The gold can last for 2 years with good cares. 

Our very last piece of Mini Amethyst Jungle. It is as petite as 1,5cmx1,5cm. Gorgeous purple! :)

It comes with rust free silver chain. You can request the chain length for free :)

Last review for today post is this perfect Oval ring. This made of Natural Agate stone.
Adjustable ring with two hoops. Very rare and a must have! :) 

Check our online store for more collection while they are still available.

Each stone is unique and different. They have no replica so when you love it, let us know so we can reserve it for you :)

Hope you'll have a great day and fun weekend ahead :)

Cheers,

Current Crush: Bring nature home :)

I love nature! 

It is peaceful, calming and full of inspiration.

 

Bringing nature home is my current crush. I enjoy both leafy and flowery plants. But, I am taking this post for the leafy ones. The big ones :)

3 big palm leafs is enough to decorate a corner in a room. 

They are so magical! 

Keep the stems long enough and place them in a huge glass vase.

 When the space is occupied by plenty of green plants, it is the best time to match it with bright interiors such as this lovely yellow blanket. 

Too scared to bring plant inside the house? 

Well, I hope you'll love the leafy prints on the pillow case as much as I do :)

These are 3 ideas on how to bring nature home. Hope you're inspired too :)

Let's get some more in the next posts.

See you :)

Bracelet galore :)

It's a long weekend again! I am just like a little girl who got a candy surprise :)
Decided to use this long weekend to manage the store.

Last week, we launched 7 pieces of OOAK (one of a kind) bracelets. They are so special because we used AAA quality gemstone nuggets sourced from around the globe.  I quickly fell in love with the piece.

Inspired by Lavender field - 

Amethyst meets Green Garnet and 925 sterling silver ornament :)

Pyra - simply because the Citrine nugget looks like a pyramid :)

wrapped in Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Labradorite stones and Ancient bead

Rosabelle - with Rose Quartz nugget :)

This is one of my favorite :)

Flood of Aquamarine stone wrapping a gorgeous Crystal Quartz.

I love the color palette, modern ethnic! :)

Looked much better in real than in the picture. 

With chunky Citrine and generous pale Rose Quartz.

Do you see the gorgeous Green Garnet?! 

Exotic piece! :)

The making procees took more than 1 week because I want to be sure on the stone combination.
Photoshoot was taken more than 1 time, again to deliver best quality pictures.

The bracelets are available in our stores in Facebook, Etsy and Instagram (@natslivingstore)
I hope you'll enjoy it :)

Gracias :)

Rare and Raw

We just launched new Rare & Raw collection in our jewelry store, Nat's Living Store.

I must be honest that this collection is the extention of my personality. Why so? Because I am always thrilled with organic materials, irregular and rich in texture.

This collection is using rough quartz as the main materials. The quartz are AAA quality, undyed and natural! Each of the stone is special and one of a kind, no duplicate. How gorgeous!!

I was exploring gold ornaments. I believe there are some segments in the market who love golden accessories.

 Rough genuine Citrine bracelet. 

Do you know that Citrine has healing power?

Rough crystal quarts bracelet! I really love its unique shape!

Brass meets matte gold and chunky Green Garnet. 

This necklace is 20-21 inches which will fall nicely because the stone gives enough weight :)

Now, I am really in love with gold. I think I will explore more about it. We also just registered an Instagram account for the store. Hope it won't be too late for us to start in Instagram. We have been thinking about this since long time back. But, since we're not yet managing the store full time, we waited for the right time. So, this is hopefully the right time for us already :)

You can find us in Instagram @natslivingstore or visit our Facebook store here. 

Happy weekend! :)

My Current Crush

Oooohh! I just can't stop my brain from running.

I am so so so inspired at the moment :)

My style in arts is really about Imperfectness. For me, imperfectness enriches the piece.
(But, please don't get me wrong. I am so keen on room arrangment and hardly tolerate messy rooms)

At the moment, I have a crush on handmade art pieces. Apparently, they are all in white and blue :)

Hand printed timber tiles! I really dream of this!

i.e. to have a wall of handprinted tiles (err, not to make the tiles at the moment) 

Handprinted fabric. I finally made my first trial on this, after 1 year!

So happy I tried. But, need to practice more.

 

 



Bye bye silver wares. Hello handmade/printed cemaric wares :)

I love its imperfect shapes and color :)

 



I hope you enjoy reading and inspired too.
Cheers to imperfectness :)

In the Mood for Fashion

Hi Friends,

I think I have hidden interest in certain fashion. I think it's about time to release it. And my favorite style for fashion and home interior is similar. I look for color and texture in both. I love color contrast and in something with high character.

Today, I want to share my findings in modern gypsy fashion.

I love the red blood and creamy white combination. Always find head cover from a twisted scarf sexy and a perfect combination with a pair of large hoop earrings. For me, Gyspy has thick characters. The stacks of some tops all in different cutting is just marvelous. And hey, heel shooes still matches modern gypsy fashion :)

Other application of scarf for head cover and large hoop earrings. I love the color contrast.

Enjoy the texture and the colors from this stacked outfits. She wore a denim jacket on creamy long top and hanging emerald scarf on the neck. For the bottom part, she wore oversized terracota long pants and black boots. 

Long patterned skirt with a plain top and scarf plus a pair of boots. Always my favorite!

If you are secretly into modern gypsy but not so much about its dresses, why not applying gypsy patterned accesorries such as a shoulder bag.

Other way to emphasize your gypsy style, long necklaces and head band.

Or, patterned dress and a simple hair band with a splash of turquoise and brown.

Yay!! I am so happy to finally share my passion in fashion. 

Thank you and have a great day, friends.

Bring Back The Dutch Doors

Hello friends,

Hope you are doing great :)

I was browsing some interesting sources on interiors few months ago and I fell into love on the first sight with this door called Dutch door or also known as Half door. My mind went back to my childhood in the hometown when I saw this door.

Dutch door is a very helpful door that is divided horizontally into two. The bottom half is usually shut while the top half opens. This way, we can stay safe with the closed bottom and freely connected with the other rooms with its opened top. I imagine that this door will be perfect in a land with fresh air.

Its top half is usually comes in a window format which allows enough light to come in. Ain't this door so helpful?

It can act as an entry door.

or as a room divider which extremely useful in a house with toddlers. Other way to optimize its benefit is making it a stair door. So you can avoid your toddlers from claiming the stair unattentively. I love how the dutch door in this room is painted in deep red to bring the contrast to the dominant white.

So, if you are thinking about making an entry door or a room divider, why not considering a dutch door especially if you are located in a location with fresh and healthy air. 

Hope you enjoy the reading :)

Cheers,

Irene

Hope It's Not Too Late

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year 2013 :)

Just a thought to start our 2013:

Inspiring Room & Interiors

Hi friends!

Merry Christmas!

A room is just a room until we give life to it. And, I believe colors, textures, details and sizes are key drivers to making a room beyond functionality. And I am so inspired by some random rooms and interiors ideas below.

Colors in a room:

Blend bold colored interiors in a plain white room. 

framed wall decoration in various bold colors in one size, bright red chairs. 

Bring the boldness in the wall with big diamond wallpaper. 

Similar to the first idea, the bold in this white room coming from its cushions, carpet and table. 

I super like this room for kids simply because it is not too kiddish. 

I guess the wooden furniture making it more 'mature'

The colorful detail and decorations, on the other side, bring out the kiddish side.

Smart Interiors Ideas:

 If we have an 'unusual' corner in the room, why not transform it into a book shelf.

 Half gate for baby keeper

My favorite! Simply because the storage is so classic. 

I always love cafe au lait bowls and like the diamond mug hanger on the wall. 

Smart fold-able study desk for small room.

Hope you have some inspiration as well.

Have a great long weekend and Happy Happy New Year to you and your family.

Cheers,

Irene
