LivejournalWhen I first joined SL, stalking the amazing Lucky Chairs at Alienbear Gupte’s store was all the rage. No wonder, given the gorgeous jewellery sets you could collect that way. And since then, Alienbear has just kept turning out wonderfully intricate designs, from wedding rings to royal crowns and everything in-between. Whether you want something with an oriental flavour, something gothy for Halloween or just a stunning fantasy of precious metals and gemstones, you are likely to find it in her store. Her latest release, the Azucena set, is definitely fit for any queen. Do make sure to click the images to see the larger size for a better look at all the details.

We’ll start off gently, with the smaller of the two crowns, the less ornate pair of earrings and just one of the necklace pieces. The design is inspired by white lilies, here rendered in gold and diamonds. The set is also available in platinum and soft antique gold. Its a very feminine and elegant design, beautifully put together and beautifully textured.

Of course, if you’d rather go for the full effect and don’t mind taking up a few more attachment points, you can always go for the queen crown which consists of two separate crown pieces to get around prim limits. And with that you would, of course, wear both parts of the necklace as well as the larger earrings. In the second of these two images you can also see the design of the bracelets more clearly.
Now you’re definitely ready for that ball at the castle, and I bet the prince will notice you instead of Cinderella.
This kind of jewellery had to be paired with something quite formal, so I dug out one of my favourite gowns from Adam n Eve, the Evening Star. I also used the Contessa hair from Adam n Eve and the strikingly elegant Ava skin from Blowpop.
