Romantic Fabric Jewelry
by ylenia on Apr.30, 2010, under Handmade Jewelry
My latest creations were born in a warm spring afternoon, when I noticed some fabric scraps near my mother’s sewing machine. Their colors were very fashionable, so I decided to create some accessories which would totally boost my spring/summer look.
I mixed them with vintage buttons and beads…here is the result!
You will find these necklaces and rings in my shop very soon: www.wakamesalada.etsy.com

Small things that can make you feel great
by ylenia on Nov.09, 2009, under Handmade Jewelry
Hi from Italy everybody!
As this is my very first post in this blog, I would like to start by introducing myself and the jewelry I create. I live in Milan, and I have a real passion for fabric and colors. This is why I love making jewels out of felt, cotton, ribbons and custom buttons. These I use to create necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets whose purpose is to add that funny, colorful touch to a pair of jeans or sometimes a serious look.
I called my Jewelry line “Small things by WakameSalada” because I want my jewels to be that little something which makes people smile and makes every girl who wears it feel original, feminine and cheered up at the same time.

I would describe me as an observer. I keep an eye on which colors people like to wear and how they interprete it, and try to create something which can meet their needs without being ordinary. Of course, I do the same when choosing my look, as I really believe that a colorful and stylish look influences your mood, too.
You can find my jewels at the following online stores:
