Designing a great match…

All my Jewelry Designs are single pieces created to have a life and standing on their own beautifully in their unique and unexpected combination of natural elements. All my creations can be combined together also if they aren’t created as sets. I like the idea to give the ability to mix and match pieces between them, or stack them together creating your own story that can be changed anytime you wear my Art.
Usually the beautiful natural gemstones I use in my designs are all a possibility of infinite combinations of colors, shapes or based on meanings that goes beyond the stones.

I wrote this poem “Hands” not long ago…

Hands
Hands

Hands
Artist precious hands,
intensity and love givers.

Hands guided by a heart pulse,
forging and hammering metals,
holding precious stones.

Inspiration from the soul,
happiness  and art givers,
emotions in a motion of senses.

stroking brushes fulfilled with passion,
dripping water on white paper,
splashes of colors take forms.

Ink tears into the unknown
a creation is born.

Talking about Photography….

0ften I get questions about my jewelry photographs. What inspire me to showcase my creations the way I do.  As you can see from some of the photos posted from the beginning of this Blog  I love photography! Yes I really do!  I love that I can catch the moment and it will stay forever with a beautiful photo.  That alone it is very inspiring to me. Awakening  that instinctive creativity guided from my inner soul to get a great shot. I consider Photography another great Artistic way of expression and I love to use photos for my Digital Art. In Photography I am an “Amateur” if I can say that 🙂 ❤
I love to stage and take all the photos for my Jewelry Design you can see them in the gallery  Jewelry Portfolio. Each photo is inspired by  the moment, by the Jewel itself and by the story behind my creation. When I stage a photo I love to add natural elements like stones, leaves, fossils, flowers. I take all the photos without flash. I like the natural light, some photos are staged outdoors and some indoor.  When I am outdoor I wait that the sun go almost down like a pre-sunset light, or I wait for some cloudy days for a more soft light. I just love the whole creative process and I hope that you enjoy all my photos!

Protective energy

Turquoise Ethnic Tribal adjustable leather necklace “Protective energy”

Protective Energy
I named this necklace “Protective energy” because the meanings of the beautiful and ancient turquoise gemstone.

I wanted to create a Tribal Talisman necklace, my design feature a pendant made with multiple Turquoise gemstones wrapped and knotted with a thin leather cord and no metal wire. The pendant is 3.5 inches long, made with three beautiful Turquoise gemstones in different sizes, and a faceted yellow translucent citrine combined with brass beads in between natural horn pipes, bone and wooden beads.

A dark tan color leather cord is knotted and adjustable in length. This necklace it is wearable long or short  both ways it looks beautiful.

Protective energy talisman necklace
Turquoise is considered the most ancient and old gemstone in the history of mens, it emits protective energy and power, it was used from warriors for protection and courage and believed that blesses who wear it. Native Americans honored this beautiful stone as Sacred stone and believed that helps to become one with the universe.
Turquoise also emits messages and powers of wisdom, serenity, wholeness, self-expression, creativity, peace of mind, emotional balance, good luck, spiritual grounding, honest communication, friendship, love and loyalty. Absorbs negativity.

This necklace is avaiable in my Etsy shop as made to order in limited edition.

When I was in Italy I grow up in a City that has a beautiful Gulf on the Mediterranean Sea. I could see the sea from my balcony at home. I have been always fascinated by the changing colors during the four Seasons.  The sea is an element that is intimately linked with my life and identity.

My watercolor paintings and Illustrations are very often inspired from beautiful  seascapes, the movement and reflection of the water, the colors I use in my Art. I love the dramatic light of oceans in  storm, beautiful beaches and sunsets,  including boats and harbours, ocean waves and rocky outcrops, misty landscapes, as well as beautiful underwaters fauna and flora. I love to search and look for natural found objects on the shore. There are many fascinating pieces, natural treasures that I collect.

Each piece bring me unique inspirations knowing they had many years, maybe thousands of years of underwater life before I found them, and use it as “Masterpieces” for my Jewelry designs. In my Portfolio several jewelry creations are made with unique natural treasures found by me walking on Earth.

Many of my designs are inspired by the ocean nature. I had a custom request to match a “Bracelet” to an existent set of Necklace and Earrings that I previously designed made with a fossil seashell, Mediterranean Red Coral and handmade enamel ceramic beads.

This is the existing set…
Red coral earrings
Earrings are made out of silver plated copper wire and Red Coral. The whole set has almost the same shape.

The necklace…hold  a wire work round shape and hanging charms. One is a piece of a fossil seashell found in California part of my collection.  Red Coral and an handmade enamel ceramic bead. The necklace  has an adjustable knotted waxed cord that allow different lenghts.

My new  design is the “Bracelet” created with similar elements to match the other two pieces, with the addition of Mother of pearls beads.

Rose Quartz new designs!

I have been working on new designs for my “Among Nature” Collection…

Rose Quartz bracelet

This bracelet is made with natural Rose Quartz  gemstones. I used faced beads and a small heart shape as charm, and two small smocky Czeck crystal beads. Wired with silver plated copper. This bracelet match with my other designs where I used Rose Quartz gemstones. All my creations made with the same gemstones are single unique pieces. There are many possibilities to pair them together creating your own personal set also mixing between gemstones.

Is known as the Love stone “Rose Quartz” new design…

“LOVE” – Rose Quartz is a natural gemstone known as the Love Stone…
this beautiful crystal has healing power and emits strong vibrations of unconditional love. The energy that emits clear and purifies, opening the heart to promote love in any situations. Wearing jewelry with rose quartz helps you to feel self-worth love, is calming and relaxing and protect from negativity….

I like Rose Quartz, the lovely pale pink color and the translucent transparency inspire me with my designs creating  jewelry that’s connects with the beautiful energy and vibrations this stone has.

During the past days I have been working on a new custom request for another heart pendant with Rose Quartz. I create a new one-of-a kind design, similar but different to the other necklace I made. The new pendant has a different twist you can see it here from my sketch to life….
