In shopping around for my favorite ‘thing’, jewelry, I must say that there are some pretty amazing stores out there, and the easiest to shop at without leaving the house is internet. There’s styles for everyone, and not only jewelry, but original artisan jewelry is definitely my ‘thing’.
Talking about the jewelry awards,here is one great find I added to my store. Winner of the 2008 Niche Award, Belle Brooke Barer. She entered her “Canoe Ring” and won in the category of ‘Silver with Stones’. Here’s a picture of the ring. So original! The artist explains “..tiny tubes are hand placed and soldered in singular batches to create the effervescent circular patterns that define the signature collection...”.
In shopping around for my favorite ‘thing’, jewelry, I must say that there are some pretty amazing stores out there, and the easiest to shop at without leaving the house is internet. There’s styles for everyone, and not only jewelry, but virtual stores in which their looks can decide if you stay or leave. Sometimes you don’t even want to go any further than the home page, you must identify yourself with it, something tells you ooohhh, aaahhh, mmm... or uhg! and leave without exploring any further. I will comment on some great finds in that respect too, I have a great list in my favorites to pass on to you.
Continuing on the jewelry awards, as I promised on my previous post, here is an other great find. Winner of the 2008 Niche Award, Belle Brooke Barer. She entered her “Canoe Ring” and won in the category of ‘Silver with Stones’. Here’s a picture of the ring. So original! I looked up the artist, http://www.bellebrooke.net/, in which she explains “..tiny tubes are hand placed and soldered in singular batches to create the effervescent circular patterns that define the signature collection...”.
Later I discovered in a very cool high end jewelry store, www.mocashop.com, that she has many pieces in that collection and there are choices to be made in terms of the stones that she puts on the jewelry. I am thrilled to see she has many levels of prices, so if you can’t afford her “Vertical Triptych” necklace, you can go for other amazing and original pieces to satisfy your hunger for her designs.
Hope you find this interesting and pleasing to the jewelry lover eye.
