Spring is finally here

Finally I returned in Italy! I love bright colors of the spring in the air and smell of blooming  flowers. They bring so much positive energy.  I feel me full of inspiration. 
These are photos of blooming succulent plants on my balcony:

   


I'm currently experimenting with combining different materials and techniques.
When I first started designing jewelry, I never imagined that I would be making handmade rings. All that changed one day when my friend asked if I ever made rings and I made one for she as a Cristmas gift. So now I created this ideal accessory for spring and summer. This is the red hand crochet rose with vintage bead in the center.  You can ask what is the difference with others crochet rings? That I combine it with the leather flower. I like this ring very much and of course I will make others!


 




What I can say for you: Try something new! You never know what you might come up with and it's an excellent chance to expand your horizons.
