An elegant black and auburn engagement ring displaying a molten-core diamond.

Delicate looking strands of blackened platinum and auburn-hued rose gold entwine in a dance of graceful arabesques around one another forming a dainty wreath designed to embrace the wearer s finger. Wherever the two strands converge a tiny sparkling amethyst is inset. An opening between the strands cradles a wonderful molten core diamond displayed in a way that emphasizes the faint, red glow of lava within the stone. A single word is cleanly engraved inside the band.

The engagement ring reads: "-we-"


A face wrap of luxurious silverweave displaying a platinum Triquetra inset with a lightning amethyst

The heavy, lustrous fabric of the wrap is made up of silver threads spun together with white linen thread for extra support. These strands are woven together with a pitch-black thread, resulting in a shimmery, somewhat starry effect. The rich purple gemstone inset into the shining platinum of the Triquetra hides a golden lightning-shaped inclusion. Tapered on each end, the length of fabric is clearly meant to be wrapped about the head and face.


A gleaming platinum choker dangling a stylized eighth note charm

Slight doming and a finely curved flag gives the single musical note a three-dimensional appearance. Inset into the note-head is a tiny, sparkling amethyst, faceted so that it glistens as it catches the light. The note hangs by its flag from the lustrous choker.


A fiery phoenix charm displaying swirling charoite eyes

Lifelike feathers of red and yellow gold each limned with a faint tracery of white gold and scattered with twinkling ruby dust give the illusion of the bird being engulfed in flames. Standing out against the fiery detailed body are the wickedly curved beak and fierce talons of silvery-black animite and the charoite eyes which swirl in a chaotic blend of cool violets. Faint whirring noises can be heard from within its belly.


A gypsy shirt with an orchid alexadrite button

Designed to offer a flirtatious peek of the wearer's midriff, the cropped, off-the-shoulder shirt is crafted of the softest raw silk and stitched with intricately woven triquetras of multi-hued, metallic threads. Centered on the front of the gathered and ruffled grey shirt is a button fashioned from a highly polished orchid alexandrite. In the daylight, the orchid alexandrite (color changing gem) exhibits a vivid pink hue.


A heavily-boned black nightsilk corset clasped with a stormfire topaz

Wasp-waisted, this corset accents the feminine form to perfection. The softly curving top and bottom of this beautifully crafted garment are embroidered with threads of glittering topaz, while complex silvery laces crisscross up the sides. Gleaming platinum hook and eye closures embellish the front of the corset. Designed to attract attention, the form-fitting corset is clasped with an elegant stormfire topaz. The gem is a steely blue-grey, reminiscent of brilliant bolts of lightning.


A dagged chainmail belt displaying a lightning amethyst

The gleaming platinum belt, crafted to gracefully drape across the wearer's hips, features triangular dags edged in a multitude of tiny bells which sway with every movement. The dags are forged with a pattern of alternating chevrons of shining black and glistening deep purple metal links. Prominently featured upon the clasp, the depths of a rich purple lightning amethyst hide a golden lightning-shaped inclusion.



A starlight velvet gypsy skirt

Crafted to sway with any motion, the luxurious cloth of this full skirt consists of silk threads with diamond chips worked into them. When the light hits the fabric, the gem's reflection creates the illusion of glittering stars on a moonlit night across the surface. Cut to accentuate the hips, the contoured waistband is laced at the sides. Centered on the waistband is a black opal which is mounted in an elegant setting of platinum. The glittering jewel flashes with brilliant flecks of red and purple.


A gold-inlaid damascened platinum tailband etched with a phoenix

The damascened platinum gives the impression of liquid metal beneath the gleaming surface of the band which has channels of gold flowing around its edges. Deeply etched into the surface is the image of an intricate fiery phoenix in flight clutching a stylized eighth note. Inset into the eye sockets are a pair of perfectly matched faceted amethysts.


Some high-heeled grey leather boots with platinum-inlaid heels

The cuffs of the supple, calf length boots are turned down revealing the luxurious suede interior. Along the edge of the cuff and encircling the ankle are straps of matching leather, each of which is fastened with a buckle crafted of fine damascened platinum. Delicately inlaid into the back of each highly figured wyndewood heel is a single platinum quarter note inset with a tiny faceted amethyst.


A frosted crystal flute with gracefully spiraling inlays of icesteel

Gentle swirls of transparent, frost-blue metal and a sprinkling of gemstone dust add icy highlights that complement the frozen appearance of the delicate instrument. The thumb rest is a molten-core diamond whose soft, red glow echoes warmly through the body of the flute.


Cythra has also helped friends with their designs including assisting with entire weddings.

Plague, Cythra's pet kitten:

a chubby chocolate brown kitten with deep brown eyes and a fluffy tail

Oversized paws with tiny claws add to the awkward look of this pudgy creature. Its whiskers stick out around a heart-shaped nose in dark lines and from above each round eye. A black leather collar circles its neck and dangles a round medallion with the word "Fluffy" etched into it.

Second place winner, White Rose Talent Show, Uthmor 439

Prize: A rose-carved ivory-inlaid music box sprinkled with tiny sapphire stars.

Scattered across the intricately detailed rose that is carved onto the ivory cover, small glimmers of indigo tinged light reflect the colorful array of seven-pointed star-shaped sapphires. On the back of the music box is a small metal key, while a flowing platinum-inlaid inscription is engraved along the bottom. There appears to be something written on it.

On a small raised platform inside the music box is the figure of a nymph, made of porcelain and clad in green silk leaves layered over each other to form a robe.
