#Faceted Rondelle

[ratnasagarjewel]

Gemstone beads are a timeless and elegant addition to any jewelry collection. Their natural beauty and versatility make them a popular choice for both amateur and professional jewelry designers.

A sundae for Sunday.

But this isn't ice-cream.

It's a carving (!) by Manfred Wild, using rock crystal and semi-precious stones, and I found it here when I was sourcing images for this post.

The website description is a single unbroken paragraph, so here's a more readable version.

The glass (is) formed from exceptionally high clarity rock crystal quartz with faceted citrine rondelles and 18 karat yellow gold banding. The various and colourful “flavours” of ice cream (are) carved from thulite for strawberry, beige jasper for mocha, aventurine quartz for mint, yellow calcite for orange, white quartz for vanilla and cappuccino jasper for chocolate. (All are) topped with a bright carnelian cherry, a wafer cookie of Kalahari jasper and white dolomite whipped cream. (This) generous portion (is) topped with a gold parasol accented in sections with translucent blue, green and purple enamel over guilloche.

Amaury Guichon should do one in sugar-glass and kinds of chocolate, if he hasn't already.

I'm also remembering the time, in Germany for a friend's wedding, we went into an Eiscafé in Speyer. We don't eat elaborate ice-cream very often, so when we do we like to catch up for lost time.

What we hadn't noticed was that the Kugel (scoop) measure in this café was rather larger than usual, so when our orders came out, they looked like - in fact were - these:

On the left, @dduane’s chocolate chip, mocha and double chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. On the right, my mint choc-chip, strawberry, salt-caramel, vanilla, mango and cream. We did splendid execution on both, but had dinner a couple of hours later than originally intended...

Neither was as long-lasting as the carved-crystal-and-minerals one, but the memory section of my Mind Palate confirms that they were infinitely more flavoursome.

Yum.

My Other Crochet Aunt

Several times I have brought up the very precise and finely-crocheted four dresses my one Aunt-Who-Crocheted made for me when I was very young--way too young to appreciate the skill and time, and I was also not a good audience for the very traditional style of those dresses. I do still have one, and I am happy to have it.

My other Aunt-Who-Crocheted was much more prolific and, frankly, gaudy in her approach. She'd usually start with a rubber band and some crochet thread in colors she liked, and maybe a bag of cheap plastic craft store beads (faceted beads, transparent faceted rondelles, tri beads) and just start crocheting. Lots of skill and fun but no plan and no worried about if the result would be in any way like actual clothes.

When I was little, I loved the piles of doll clothes she made for me (and all my cousins got them, too.) When I got older, I started thinking they were just too unrealistic. I put them away, eventually to sort out my favorites and give the rest away. I understand this could be seen as disrespectful; it's in the past, it's done.

I have not taken many photos of dolls wearing things made by this Aunt, but under the cut are some I've been ale to find (there aren't a lot, but pictures are big)

This originally had a little tab on the chest with two clear faceted beads on it, which I carefully removed at some point

This skirt originally has a bib top on it, which I removed when, I believe, I had to replace the deteriorated rubber band (I threaded in either elastic thread or lightweight elastic cord)

I do have several more dresses made by that Aunt, but I don't know if I've ever photographed them--it took a while to find even those above, and I realized that there are multiple pictures of different dolls wearing most of them (especially the white dress)
