Spring Fashion 2010 - Jewelry Edition

From time to time I like to feature other artisans to show off their great talent. I recently went into the forums of Etsy and Artfire asking for artisans to feature for my blog. I got a great response, but mostly jewelry. Which is great; but I was hoping to do a full fashion post including clothes and accessories. So instead I was will doing separate posts highlighting different handmade catagories.

Now on to the great artisans I found!



Bay's Jewels on Artfire has a great, easy to wear stretch bracelet made with multi-color beads. A must have piece because it can go with everything in your wardrobe.









Passion for Beads; also on Artfire works with Swarovski crystals to create beautiful bead weaved jewelry. There are so many nice things it was hard to choose just one.

This lovely floral bracelet in soft neutral tones is a great "sparkling" addition to your accessories. A perfect match for your "little black dress".







Danilav Designs on Artfire created this pretty bracelet with garnets, glass pearls, and a few lampworked beads. The flower pattern lampworked beads are perfectly accented with the garnets and pearls.

This is a great everyday bracelet. Even on the rainy spring days, this colorful bracelet will cheer you up.






DragonKnits on Etsy has both knitted items and jewelry in her shop. The floral pendant and accents of the necklace drew me in right away.

This is a longer necklace at 29". Long necklaces continue to be chic for spring, so this is a great find for a fashionista, a nature lover, or a fan of pink.







Bits and Beads by Gilliauna on Etsy has a wonderful assortment of beaded accessories in her shop including jewelry, ID badge lanyards, and bookmarks.

Her bracelet Poseidon's Daughter bracelet is a real eye catcher. A lovely example of Spring!

This beautiful bracelet should be worn with everything! It can easily go with jeans and a t-shirt, a casual skirt, or that special occasion.









Golden Pond Studio on Etsy has a wonderful shop filled with lovely handmade jewelry.

What's Spring without a bird's nest? This pendant is made with copper and rich purple beads; but she can make it with different wire colors if you choose.

A great Mother's Day or Easter gift!






LateNight Designs on Etsy has many pretty jewelry items including some destash beading supplies.

My personal interest in handmade rings is growing! I love this one. I love the pin-striped fabric. So cute.








Lita Petrovic Jewelry on Etsy has wonderful hand mounted
natural stone jewelry.

These beautiful Larimar earrings are set in Sterling Silver. This is a perfect shade of blue for spring. It is refreshing, cheerful, and a hot color for spring.








Morning Star Arts on Etsy has feminine, pretty jewelry in her shop with floral elements and delicate details.

This is a great example of "Statement Jewelry".
Her Purple Flower Art Glass and Yellow Coral necklace is definitely a stand out piece!

I love the composition of this necklace. A really great design. A sunny, colorful piece of jewelry that will get many compliments.
