The Kiss...

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

Valentine's Day is in two weeks so we've been seeing lots, and lots, and lots of hearts on Etsy since the beginning of January....

Of course, after a while, I got into the "mood for love" myself and, looking for some inspiration for my jewelry, I came across some beautiful Venetian glass beads that immediately caught my eye : this style of Venetian glass is called “Klimt” because there is a multitude of colorful dots and a gold foil inside the beads which are reminiscent of Klimt’s Art Nouveau paintings! J'adore!!!


So I bought this magnificent 35 mm golden heart that I attached to a trio of chains with different shapes and colors in order to create a lace effect that is both sexy and mysterious : )

Weekend à Venise - Venetian glass heart pendant, Siam red Swarovski crystal, Czech glass flowers, trio of gunmetal and gold plated chains

The matching earrings...


For this bracelet, I combined two different shapes of Klimt Venetian glass, a flat square and a cube, with beautiful tiger’s eye square beads spaced with light topaz Swarovski crystals. With its rich yellow and golden brown stripes, Tiger’s eye is an amazing and mesmerizing stone... that's why I named this bracelet "Hypnose" ...
