Kiwilicious Jewelery #16 - Melanie Muir

It's hard to find someone who had no plasticine as a kid. There are people who continue to play with it as adults, such as Melanie Muir, who is working on a colourful polymer clay. After finishing Glasgow School of Art (with honors) she decided to stay in Scotland and work on minimalistic designs and pastel colours, which she combines as well as a professional painter. A real art in design.

Kiwilicious Jewelry #15 - Denise Julia Reytan

Light, energetic, always positive. That's what appears to be Denise Julia Reytan, that's what her creations certainly are. Denise is an artist living in Berlin, working on jewelry, installations, assemblages and styling. Her work has been featured in many prestigious galleries - it is even available in Centre Pompidou!
Saturated colours, variety of materials, original forms, shapes and compositions. The world looks sweeter already! 

Kiwilicious Jewelry #14 - German Kabirski

For the first time here I present you a Russian artisan. German (yes, that's a name, even quite popular in Russia) Kabirski created very intricate and exclusive compositions out of both noble stones and wood, enamel or nacre. While his jewelry I find marvelous I am puzzled by the artist's initials composed into some of his designs. The techniques he is using have been featured before in an array of different artisans, but Kabirski enchanted me with originality and most of all bold combining of the materials. It is hard to be bored while browsing his shop!

Kiwilicious Jewelry #13 - Paolo Scura

This time - a man. It seems that they can be as successful in this field as they are in the other areas of art and design. Paolo Scura. An Italian currently living in London where he produces unique jewelry for galleries, boutiques and Simon Harrison Ltd. - landing his works in the most prominent fashion industrialists. For his inspiration Scura wanders around and tries to observe - most of the time streets, walls, buildings, surfaces of all texture and colour. The products seem rough, damaged, scratched - the beauty captivated in anti-aesthetics.

Kiwilicious Jewelry #12 - Vina Rust

Artist living in Seattle creates her unique (in the means of quantity too!) constructs with noble metals. Vina Rust is faithful to her technique and style, that is visibly inspired by botany and the nature, but she claims she gets turned on (creatively speaking) by all sorts of things - Beardsley's illustration, Lalique jewelry or ethnic aesthetics. The way of creating, perforations and intricate woven designs are unmistakable with any other jeweler.

Kiwilicious Jewelry #11 - Danielle Gori-Montanelli

 Woolen fleece seems to be quite popular in jewelry made by amateurs and laymen. Danielle Gori-Montanelli chose it too, creating innovative, dimensional sculptures with slightly pop-art-ish feeling. Colourful or in greyscale - either way, this kind of jewelry is heavy and garish cannot be only added to an outfit - it creates it and therefore tolerates only minimalistic clothing.

Kiwilicious Jewelry #10 - Katherine Wheeler

Katherine Wheeler is an Australian artist with degree in fine arts and silversmiths who deals with ceramics and jewelry. Her works remind me of deep ocean treasures, coral structures created by crocheting and soaking the designs in liquid enamel.  As she said herself, the method is very spontaneous as it strives to preserve an energy of a quick sketch.
Through rich open-work and perforations the jewelry gains exceptionally light and organic look, further reinforced by natural colours. Wheeler works both alone and with Abbey Seymour, with whom she formed Golden Ink.

Kiwilicious Jewelry #9 - Marta Szafraniec

Jewelry light and humorous, just hits the spot for summer holidays. Marta Szafraniec, a Polish designer with fresh approach and original ideas, creates her every project with a sketch and then searches a way to transform the abstract form into the reality. The goal here is to make the wearer or the viewer reflect, smile, perhaps be surprised. Szafraniec's newest creation is the site saffa.pl where two new collections are being presented: Dance and Pióra (Feathers).

Kiwilicious Jewelry #8 - Timewatch

More and more of us are (sadly - S.) no more sing the traditional watches - the time can be conveniently checked on your mobile. Fortunately, the gears and cogs of watches have found a new use - they form jewelry!
Timewatch is an etsy seller, who unfortunately doesn't share much information. Still, you can see her honest and professional approach to the client.

Kiwlicious Jewelry #7 - Percy Lau

How do you like to get into the center of attention? The craft of a Londoner Percy Lau will surely not go unnoticed. She created avant-garde forms inspired directly by the nature - of the human body. For me, more shocking and moving than enhancing your looks. But it's creative and bold :)

Kiwilicious Jewelry #6 - Elsa Peretti

Besides being famously beautiful, Elsa Peretti, ex-model from Florence is also one of the best, world-famous jewelry designer. During her extended work for Tiffany & Co. she has created many well-known collections, the dreams of American teenage girls (I want them too - S., the regular witer). These designs are mostly soft, lustrous and minimalist hearts, rings, little drops, stars or apples/After Mrs. Peretti's retirement at the age of 72, the income of Tiffany & Co. dropped by 10 percent.

Kiwilicious Jewelry #5 - Amareno Studios

Amareno Studios is a single man-lead project that seeks to merge individual approach to its crafts and high quality. As for an internet shop Amareno is unique in their techniques - not simple bead-connecting, it involves smelting and wire-twisting. Elaborate designs seem to be influenced by fin de siecle aesthetics and will most certainly enlighten whoever wears it!

Combination of colourful hand-sewn jewelry combined with haute couture? Is that even possible? Well, if those creations had made you worldwide famous and earned you studios in NYC, Milan, Barcelona and Tokyo, they must have something in them! Dori Csengeri and her jewelry is made in soutache technique and mixes the playful with the elegant.

Kiwilicious Jewelry #3 - Twinklebird

Behind Twinklebird's name there is Christine Kallen-de Boer, art teacher, who creates delicate and feminine jewelry from gold and silver of high standard.
Warm days and evenings - soon we'll be able to greet summer, lying on grass and staring at the great celestial performance. At that time of the night, especially charming with streams of stars in warm air. That turned out to be a great inspiration for her necklace Ursa Major.
