SOLD: this beauty has now found a happy home with their unique human. I make only one of everything. IF, however, you’re totally head-over-heels with this design, reach out to me – perhaps we can find your solution.

Asymmetric Line-Streamed Earrings with Jade, Gold Rutilated Quartz, Opal & Vintage Findings

Discover the deceptive allure of these seemingly neutral-colored earrings that reveal their true beauty upon closer inspection. The star of this handcrafted pair is the mesmerizing gold rutilated quartz, featuring delicate golden rutiles within crystal-clear quartz. These captivating stones offer a new perspective with each glance, making them truly unique.

I’ve designed these earrings to be both easy to wear and effortlessly sophisticated. The combination of almost-golden jade stones and creamy opals adds depth and elegance to the piece. Vintage findings provide a subtle sparkle, while the cabochon-style vintage dangle lends a touch of grounding nod to the past.

The versatility of Cream Tango allows you to elevate a basic outfit or add a playful touch to more formal attire. I personally love styling them with my favorite jeans, a cream blazer, and a gold vest for a night out. Alternatively, they pair beautifully with a white or cream collared shirt for a polished daytime look.

These earrings boast a comfortable weight, substantial enough to feel present without being heavy or tiring on the ears. They’re the perfect accessory to express your inner world through your personal style.

As with all my creations, Cream Tango is a one-of-a-kind piece, handcrafted with care and attention to detail. By incorporating vintage elements, I’m committed to sustainable jewelry-making practices that reduce environmental impact while celebrating individual expression.

SOLD – Pearlscala

Textured Copper & Pearls Asymmetric Earrings

This design is all about the pearls that adorn the metal. We don’t often experience the vision of Copper with the snowiness of pearls. But to me the attraction of the juxtaposition was irresistible.

Not only are you playing off the humbleness of copper against the sophistication of pearls, but you’re also mixing in copper’s rigidity with the fluid satin of the pearls… somehow the warmth of both materials unites them in something not unlike music. Hence the name :o)

I loved working on the textures in the metal – they echo the textures of the large Baroque pearl that’s the star of the design. The copper literally hugs the Baroque in an embrace (watch the video to see it).

This pair may be sensuous in design origin, but make no mistake – the earrings are robust to the touch. They play off the gentle sophistication of the pearls and stand firmly in metal armour! I can’t even dare to have an opinion on how to style them (but I’ll try ;o) White suite. Or a white shirt with a natural brown or camel leather skirt. Or for more casual vibe – go with jeans. But a collared white shirt seems a must.

Anyway – if you love them and end up getting them – why not reach out (#myfullcolourandshine) and show me what you’ve done with them. Most importantly – I hope they make you feel more of who you want to show up as. Because your jewelry is an inseparable part of your personal style – the style that comes from inside you – by first knowing who you truly are.

SOLD – Rose Bravo

Cream Tango-Asymmetric Line-Streamed Earrings-129

Totem-Style Asymmetric Earrings with Cornelians, Moonstones, Pink Opals & Vintage Findings

Rose Bravo is another unique pair of asymmetric totem-style earrings that embody both elegance and a touch of whimsy. These earrings are a testament to the importance of being present – something I sometimes still allow myself to forget. In this instance – I had to remake them three times – they were quite the problem-solving challenge for me. I’m happy to report they turned out perfect :o)

The centerpiece of Rose Bravo are two stunning large Cornelian stones – my favorite semi-precious stones. Often confused with Carnelian, this deep, creamy red stone derives its name from the Latin word for heart, “cor.” Its rich color and occasional white flecks add depth and character to the design.

Complementing the Cornelian are soft pink opals, which provide a gentle contrast to the more regal vintage findings. These antique elements add a touch of sophistication and shine to the earrings. Delicate moonstones crown the design, enhancing the overall elegance of the piece.

A standout feature of Rose Bravo is my signature “forever link,” a symbol of durability and longevity. The earrings have a satisfying weight, substantial enough to feel present without being heavy or uncomfortable.

I would style these earrings with outfits in similar deep tones or pair them with neutral whites to create a sophisticated/thoughtful pop of color. As usual, the versatility of Rose Bravo allows for endless styling possibilities, empowering you to express your unique vision and personal style.

They would go equally well if you decide to dress them with a floral pattern, or a pair of jeans (you know me and jeans!).

As with all my creations, Rose Bravo is a one-of-a-kind piece, 100% handcrafted with care and attention to detail. By incorporating vintage elements, I’m committed to sustainable jewelry-making practices that reduce environmental impact while celebrating your individual expression.

SOLD – Sea Catchers

Multi-Colour Sea Glass Chandelier Earrings

It’s still unbelievable to me that something as benign as sea glass can enchant my imagination so much and so often. I guess it’s their journey – it’s so much like our own life’s journey. They were tossed out, then spent years, and in some cases decades, being jostled by the waters they travelled in. Some waters gentle. Some exquisitely harsh. But all with their effect on the end result.

That type of journey demands respect, I guess…

These earrings are a nod to the well known dream catchers – except the heroes here are tiny sea glass pieces of many colours.

They combine several techniques and their movement is just a bliss to wear. They have a good weight to them but not heavy. And no matter where you go they’ll brighten up your day AND your outfit. Enjoy if you decide to make them yours. I hope they bring out the play and fun in you.

Spacer

Asymmetric Copper & Brass Earrings & Ring Set

This is an asymmetric earrings and ring set, made of chunky copper and brass. It’s a solid every-day set that can be styled with pretty much anything you fancy – especially jeans.

They feel sturdy and reliable, but are also full of personality because the twists and turns of the metal are entirely unique to this pair.

The ring also serves as a fidget or spinner ring. The centre brass piece rotates to provide you with a tactile action you can use when you need to take a mental moment. Say, before answering a question that’s important, or before responding to someone who may have tested you 😉

This is a versatile trio that also comes with a flowing stylish heart dangle that can be added to the smaller earring. The Heart-y dangle isn’t in the video – I think I decided to include it as a little surprise or bonus for you.

If you choose these to have as your own, I hope each time you wear them, you’re inspired to feel chilled, and owning your fully rightful space in whatever you do that day.

SOLD – Disco Sweetie!

Grey Keshi Pearls & Tourmaline Earrings with Vintage Findings

Disco, Sweetie, disco, Baby! Yeah! I’m not gonna hide it – the moment I saw these little beauties, it became very apparent to me that this design would have to be about the glitter disco balls.

I just wanted to create a pair of earrings that’s an undisputed reminder for you to just have a little fun. They have a great weight to them but at the same time they have these beautiful Watermelon Tourmaline semi-precious stones that go from purple to green (really unusual).

And then these colours reflect inside the glitter balls at the bottom. Then just as you think you’ve seen everything there is to see about these dancing queens, you go like: What! What! Are these real Keshi Pearls at the bottom? (you’d be right). And then there are these cute little potato freshwater pearls as well…

Yeah – so I hope these can be your reminder every time you put them on, to have a little jiggle with your frivolous side. Have a dance. Enjoy life a little more. Not everything has to be about heavy/serious stuff. If you like them and you want them you know what to do…

Sun Hoops

Sunstone Copper Hoop Earrings

Frankly, this design decided to come up while I was in the shower (I know – too much info…) But the original inspiration may have been seeded by a story about Brigitte Bardot in Vogue. I can’t say I had a conscious thought of: “this is what I want to take from this design and I’d like to evolve it like that.” I just had to get out of the shower fast, and to a pencil and paper… well – you can see the raw sketch in the storyboard above.

Then came the decision about the type of stone I wanted to use. And seeing the design was so akin to the Sun… it was a no-brainer – I chose Sunstone. I LOVE its iridescence – it makes you happy no matter what mood you’re in.

I tried to capture some of that ‘Sun’ in the photos, but there’s nothing like seeing them move in reality. There’s no angle that sends you the same colour message – each view is a new story.

Sunstones are believed to bring confident radiance and wise, motivational presence – especially if you’re looking to help others. For me, these earrings, bring unconditional brightness and radiance. Just like seeing the sun at any stage of the day! Sunrises, sunsets, and everything in between.

So if you want a lightness and a smile in your day, or a warmth that’s unconditional and independent of others’ moods – these will not fail you. The slightly larger size serves great for transition between day and night, smart AND casual. Multi-situational, versatile and never dull.

How does that sit with your current self-state? The jewellery you choose for yourself each day can serve you as a signal to yourself about how you want to show up that moment – for yourself but also to others. It’s a subtle but immutable and hard to ignore message of intent – and expression of you at that time.

That’s a nice tool to have at your disposal :o)

Fool’s Swing

Fool’s Gold (Pyrite) & Vintage Findings Silver-filled Earrings

These earrings are called Fool’s Swing. They started out with me wanting to use one of my favorite stones which is called Fool’s Gold (Pyrite). And I love using it because it’s got this really creamy and warming grey nature. It looks nothing like gold, but back in ancient times when people looked for gold in the river, they would often confuse it for the real stuff – because in its rough state it looks very similar to gold.

So in a way this ‘fake’ gold led the theme of the entire set of earrings. I’m using silver-filled metal (so not all silver…) Then I’m using these vintage findings that also looked silver at the start, but now also have glimpses of copper pinkishness about them (which looks really cool against the cold greys of the Pyrite and silver metal).

In a cheeky way – maybe these can be a reminder each time you decide to wear them, that in life a lot of things are not as they seem. So yes, it could be a warning, be careful who you mix with, always stay true to yourself and make sure you’re paying attention to things that matter, but also sometimes people might appear very tough, but that’s all a front for the raw softness they’re trying to protect.

So – the actual message here is to keep a fluid perspective and perception of life’s nuances and creatures. Including yourself. Especially yourself! Seek first to understand 🙂

In terms of design, to me these are quite funky looking. They’ve got a good weight to them. A little bit, you know, you might say they look like a little bit of a rock star design. So you could wear them with jeans. And then if you’re really cheeky, wear them with a nice grey or white suit. Definitely wear them with an attitude.

Both earrings are 1cm wide. Then the one is 9.5cm long and the other 10.5cm.

MY SIZE: 9.5cm L x 1cm W — 10.5cm L 1cm W

MY GEMS: 6 Pyrites, Vintage Elements, Silver-filled Metal.

SOLD – Gentle Totems

Totem Style Pearls, Opalite, Pietersite & Vintage Findings Earrings

Okay, so: presenting these cheeky little ‘guys’ or little ‘ladies’ – they’re called Gentle Totems and they’ve already starred in the Gibraltar Pride Festival last month!

They are really, really gentle. And to be honest with you, this time around the design started because, as I’d shared with you before, I had just received a whole bag of vintage findings. So I had a vision of creating these gentle but also proud little totem-style earrings that were very unique. And as far as I can tell – I succeeded because we had quite a lot of comments about them on the fashion show.

They were paired with a really nice denim waistcoat and skirt that I made. You can style them any way you want to. You can see that these can be quite serious (as in – sophisticated), because we have Pearls, we have Gold Quartz. But we also have Opalites that bring a little bit of play to the design. Then we have this nicely framed moonstone-like vintage finding, and then you get a little bit of a nature theme with the leaves. Ending off with more pearls of various sizes and various settings.

The new addition to my designs are these tiny Pietersite stones. They’re super sparkly and just bring a delight when your eye catches their sparkle unexpectedly.

They’ll look stylish with your favorite denim jeans. Or you can wear them with a suit at work. It’s up to you how you carry them. I hope they will be exciting to you as much as they are for me – and they bring a bit of airy fun to your summer. And if you love them, you know what to do 😉

You Are the Gem!
