Last winter, I discovered black lava and in no time, black lava beads had become really hot (good one!) in jewelry... I did a bit of research on the symbolism of black lava and I liked what I found : a stone of strength and fertility. It is said to provide stability in times of change and to help dissipate anger. Exactly what I need!
As lava beads are porous and not very shiny, I thought that their "roughness" would be perfectly complemented by the softness of wool felt. So... I came up with my "Macadam" collection that I personally find very urban chic and comfortably feminine : )
"Macadam" necklace with black lava round beads, charcoal grey wool felt balls and shiny grey Czech glass seed beads
"Macadam" bracelet with black lava beads, wool felt balls and Czech glass mounted on an elastic and finished with a sexy bow of black satin ruffled ribbon
"Macadam" earrings with black lava and charcoal grey wool felt balls hanging from lovely sterling silver flower earwiresSoon, I'll have a teal blue version of my Macadam collection... of course, black and blue, I couldn't resist!
To be continued...
Beautiful combination of textures!
