The theme of this new, handmade and unique “Incendio” collection reflects the severe and uncontrolled wildfires and their devastating impact on our ecosystem. This flame-inspired jewelry is a reminder of how climate change is fueling fires in the West and a reminder that we are destroying the only planet we have.
And there is more! Ten percent of sales from the “Incendio” jewelry will be donated to the California Wildfire Relief Fund.
3 tips for your new jewelry business
In a recent interview for Thrive Insider, I was asked “what are 3 tips you can share with our readers as it relates to your industry?” Here was my response:
1. Don’t try to be trendy and choose quality versus quantity. Trends pass but great pieces are timeless.
2. Be different from others.
3. Be environmentally friendly: sustainable products are here to stay.
3 in 1: mask holder + necklace + bracelet
Where do you put your covering mask when you are out and decide to take it off for any reason? In your pocket? In your hands? Under your chin?
As a designer - and dog owner who takes daily walks alone - I came out with a new idea. A unique mask holder that can also become an elegant (short or long) necklace and a boho wrapped bracelet. This “chela” mask holder + necklace + bracelet is inspired by the claw of a lobster and it’s handmade in silk and partially hammered brass. Need one? Just click here!
This versatile, one of a kind and handcrafted jewelry piece can be wear as an original mask holder / string, as an elegant necklace and a wrapped bracelet
Spoon or nature-inspired bracelet?
I love to work with reclaimed metals to create jewelry inspired by my work as a biologist.
Silver, gold, bronze, brass or copper can be all be recycled and turned into interesting jewelry pieces. All you need is your imagination… and knowing some jewelry-making techniques! Here is a vintage silver spoon that I cut, filed, pressed, forged, and oxidized into an open bracelet. As a final touch, I added silver balls in the center. The Italian name of this bracelet is “nido di rondine” (robin’s nest).
