In this period I like making necklaces above all, mixing materials and make them as colorful as possible. I noticed that purple is an evergreen colour. It can be matched with white, yellow (lovely contrast!) and green for example, and it really brightens any kind of hair/skin combination, from dark to light.

So I decided to create something special and the Purple Royale necklace is the final result:

I used felt, vintage buttons and green beaded chain, mohair wool for embroidery and brass chain. It took some time but it was worthwhile and this piece can be worn on a wide range of clothes to boost your look! In the pictures below I am wearing it on a dark purple poncho. Perfect if you don’t like to get unnoticed!

Love Hurts Necklace

Love Hurts Necklace

Another piece from my ‘Love Hurts’ range, lots of handcut brass hearts with black, blue and purple pearls, black peacock pearls, labradorite, hematite and iolte and faceted black onyx beads.

Why have I called the range ‘Love Hurts’  maybe because there is lots of dark coloured beads and pointy hearts, showing the darker side of love or maybe because it just sounded good!

Earrings – Jewelry Trends : Grey and Purple, HUGE this fall!

Trends this fall still include dangly or largish earrings, but they are going slowly away from the chandelier style. Color-wise, purple and grey are very popular.

These Amethyst Kiss Earrings fit the bill for the season. They are feminine yet have an industrial feel. The mix of shiny, dark and textured silver adds interest, as do the dark and light amethysts.

When creating earring designs, artisans consider both colour and texture.  In the end, they need to be a good balance of both.

Shopping from artisans ensures that you get a one-of-a-kind design (usually with a story behind it) and quality. Those are things that the Big Box stores can’t provide.
