Jewelera

Today I found some amazing jewelry and.....yessss! The seller has some eco-friendly selections so I can share it here!

Jewelera

 This is the first time I've seen wallpaper being used in jewelry - wow!

From the listing: "An artful combination of different materials are featured in this design; the flying bird is cut out from an old wallpaper and mounted on vinyl, the antique copper vintage style pendant piece is from my original city 'Istanbul' and I've placed a clear crystal cabochon at the center, also a sparkling vintage rhinestone piece (once an earring) is dangling from it. All of those are connected to faux leather belt used as the neck piece. Oh, not to forget the draping white enamel chains, which I think completes the overall design perfectly!

I didn't put any closure as the neck piece easily goes through the head."

Her store is full of interesting pieces with innovative materials and techniques. It's rare to find so many unique ideas from one seller - I'm in love!

This is my favorite:

Istanbul necklace

A combination of vintage findings (omg check out that amazing seahorse!) and faux Turkish ceramic tile.
