Five easy jewelry tips for everyday

1. CREATE LAYERS WITH YOUR JEWELRY
Remember to choose your pieces carefully to create an elegant look

2. MAKE A STATEMENT

Yes, be bold but wear only one (handmade) statement piece at a time so you don’t over-due it

3. MIX AND MATCH

Don’t be afraid to experiment with different metals: silver, gold, bronze, and more can be worn together

4. COMPLEMENT YOUR OUTFIT

Always remember to “match” your outfit; be stylish

5. DON’T FOLLOW TRENDS

Avoid following trends by creating your own unique style with handcrafted pieces

Do you see double?

Of course, you do! This is a two-finger ring and one of the many original pieces that have been added to the 2023-2024 Fall-Winter collection. It’s easy to wear, one of a kind, unisex, and totally ready to make a statement on your hand! It’s handcrafted in bronze but a silver version is coming soon.

How do I forge silver to make jewelry?

It doesn’t look like an easy metal to work with, but silver is actually malleable and offers the opportunity to create unique pieces. “Forging” is an ancient metalsmithing method that allows controlling the shape of silver and other nonferrous metals by hitting the material with a special hammer. The metal needs to be heated with a torch beforehand.
In the image, this one-of-a-kind pendant (for sale online) is forged using the technique described above.

Handmade napkin holder or scarf slide?

I love handcrafted pieces that can be used for more than one purpose. This unique scarf slide can be easily transformed into an elegant napkin holder! Of course, this piece is nature-inspired, and a snake was behind the design of the adjustable, distinctive piece. You can look how to wear this handmade jewel here!

What is reticulation in jewelry-making?

Reticulation is a process that allows to achieve a textured surface on a metal - such as silver - after heating it. The final result consists of an interesting surface with ripples and ridges. The “pianeta verde” pendant in the image was created with this unique process.

A planet ("pianeta" in the language of the designer) with a touch of "grass" inspired the design of this unique necklace handmade with the process of reticulation. The piece is available online.

Hair holder, bangle or necklace?

A high tide (“marea alta” in the language of the designer) inspired the design of this versatile, unique, unisex and handmade 3-in-1 piece. The “marea alta” looks amazing as a distinctive necklace with a chain, as a bangle, or as a hair holder with its own fork (included with this piece). Check out all the possibilities here!
