  Mixtures of nickel,gunmetal and Swarovski Rhinestone chains.

JewelryFall 2012 Delfina Delettrez

Jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez designs for modern women with a sense of humor in mind.  Her inspirations includes anatomy, insects, 16th century Italy, the romans and  spookily gothic.

Her Fall 2012 jewelry collection is fun, unique & totally unbelievable!!

Exquisitely mixing marbles, ceramics, precious stones, crystals etc with erotic woods, gold, silvers & other metals and created this unique and artistic collection.

Jewelry Fall 2012 - Aurélie Bidermann

I'm featuring  Aurélie Bidermann agian, do you know this  beautiful Parisian - French jewelry designer, begins her career as an art historian in Sotheby's Impressionist and contemporary Art departments?  After attended gemology and art school in Anvers and BJO (professional jewelry making course) in Paris, she traveled  to various countries e.g. India etc gathering her inspirations from different cultures.

 Her poetic creations are a true declaration of peace, love, serenity and fantasy. Her philosophy is to create an "Art of Happiness", as she continually renews her sources of inspiration to produce imaginative, finely-crafted works of art.

I love how she incorporated gems, precious stones and metals into her jewelry designs, they are different but certainly outstanding.  Lets take a look at my most favorite pieces of her Fall 2012 collections.

Multi-strands Layered Necklaces & Earrings

I believe even twins has their own differences and  character...

I have a whole bunch of faceted glass beads and I decided to design 2 almost identical necklaces & earrings sets.  One is Clear & Milky white and the other is clear, light grey, milky white and black.  The only difference is the arrangements of beads and color combination...

Materials for both sets:

Beads:  all faceted in different shapes and sizes faceted glass beads in 6,8,10, 12mm

Cords:  I normally string all my beads using tigers tail, a nylon coated wired cord that really can hold up heavy strands of beads and also nickel metal chains.

Findings and Finishing:  Nickel metal findings, Lobster clasp and another 10cm extension.

both designs are available at 

HAPPY EASTER!

May your Easter fills with love, laughter and happiness,
