SUMMER BLUES

I gave new life to an old bracelet... I love the contrast of the handmade ceramic beads with the shiny glass beads, it's a very summery bracelet, with the colors of deep blue skies and sea!

TROPICANA COLLECTION

I have officially launched my Tropicana collection! :)

TROPICANA

I had  made these colorful pendants a while ago, using wooden tiles which I painted in bright colors and then topped with gorgeous blue glass cabochons. Now I finally turned them into necklaces, hope you like them :)

Experimental Jewelry : MARIAELA

I love experimental and unconventional jewelry! In this series I'm featuring jewelry artists who work with unconventional materials and techniques, and who see a ring or a pendant as a canvas to express their art and creativity.

As soon as I ran across Ela's colorful and unique work on Etsy, I fell in love! It was love at first sight! Can you tell why? Well, it's easy! I love colorful and unique jewelry which stands out from the crowd, I love unique rings (and Ela makes amazing ones!), and I love photographing my work in natural settings and bright sunshine (and Ela does that so beautifully!). Ela is a jewelry artist from Poland, and all of her work is lovingly created by her from scratch, including the ring settings. She has an astonishing ability in working with ceramic, fused glass and copper -- and I have a deep admiration for that. She also incorporates semi-precious stones and minerals in her work (such as jade, amethyst, lava, agate and more), setting them in her handmade metal settings. 
Ela is a very successful jewelry designer on Etsy, where she sells her wonderful work in her shop Mariaela. Please look for yourself, it's really worth it!

COLORFUL BUBBLES

There we go with some more bubbles of color!

This last ring features a gorgeous sky blue fused glass cabochon by Irish glass artist Mollie of Spleodar.
