Quick, it's almost over!

How gorgeous it is to walk back from school with my kids on a sunny day and look at these autumnal colors! Of course, they are more into playing in the dead leaves and picking up branches to make "swords" and "lightsabers" but well... that's another way to enjoy Fall ; )

Inspired by the beauty around me : "L comme Libellule" earrings featuring golden copper Swarovski crystal dragonfly wings and golden chains...With their iridescent finish and asymmetrical facets, these crystal wings reflect the light in a beautiful golden rainbow of sparkles. They are absolutely stunning in real life : )

And here is a little something I am completely smitten with : my "Cubes" pendant necklace... This necklace features a gorgeous 20mm Klimt style Venetian cube with an opaque red base and a layer of 24kt gold foil. Pressed onto the bead, a mosaic of millefiori glass creates texture and an abstract pattern. This technique makes every bead absolutely unique in color and shape! I.LOVE.IT.

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 : )

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" ...
