Lustrous Greens

Looking at the bracelets we've been making these last few months, it is remarkable how much more colourful they are compared to our older items. Our main idea has always been to capture nature in our colours and textures, and this often resulted in pale and nude shades. We still really like these natural tones, but - as we mentioned before - we do feel we need to add a bit more colour. And who says bright colours aren't natural? Below you can find a collage of pictures in blue and green hues, which are very popular at the moment (both in fashion and interior). We both adore this palet, and we are happily expanding our collection with gems and beads in these lustrous hues

What is your favourite colour? Do your prefer pastels or bright colours, or something entirely different?

Roald Dahl

Last week, we said that we are often inspired by Dr. Seuss's incredible quotes, and how childish that actually is. Well, we have a confession to make: we are also greatly affected by the words of Roald Dahl - especially quotes from his children's books, for which we both have a soft spot. The quote below can be found in his novel The Minpins (1991). In this book, the main character, Little Billy, is forbidden by his mother to go through the garden gate to the Forest of Sin. Obviously, he does it decides to do it anyway, and finds all kinds of wonderful things beyond the gate.
We love this book, and especially this fragment from it, because it's só true: as long as you open your eyes, and watch the world with a fresh look and an open mind, you will discover the most wonderful things - often in places where you didn't expect it!

Love,
Lisa & Ivanna

New "Wish" Collection

Yesterday we proudly presented our Wish Collection! Today we are very excited to show you our first Weekly Inspiration Post with one of our new bracelets being part of a lovely set. It's great to find that our new bracelets are perfectly matchable with bracelets that we created before. From now on there are many more options for combining bright and cheerful colors with more neutral and natural tones. This really completes the jewelry and gives that 'final touch'. 
This set contains a turquoise version of Delicate as Stone, a white jade version of Greek Goddess , a cherry red version of Wish Upon a Star and a pink version of If I Could Have One Wish.
