Yumi Ueno Jewelry

There's something about the
one-of-a-kind
sculptural rings created by Yumi Ueno
that is breathtaking.

With imagination and a strong sense of flair
she fabricates unique, finely crafted jewelry
that may take your breath away.

Her work is created with precious and
semiprecious stones set in gold or silver and
each is filled with color, pattern and texture.

 

This artist creates more than rings - her pendants
and brooches are filled with whimsical imagery.

There is so much more to see at Yumi Ueno's website.

Mr. Dudley via Instagram

 Dudley has made himself right at home and just had his first Doggy Spa treatment.  We are really enjoying him and I think he happens to like us too.  We now have three rescues, two dogs and a cat.  Rescues make the best pets if you ask me.  Have you rescued?

Maria Cristina Bellucci Jewelry - It's Not Just a Pencil Anymore

Jewelry created by Maria Cristina Bellucci

is made from colored pencils.

By cutting, sanding, and ultimately re-shaping them

into various geometric forms she provides

a vibrant spectrum of colors and forms.

Her meticulous methods

create harmonious compositions

that are intriguing and innovative.

 Jewelry that's made

from non-precious materials
allows the artist to reveal the hidden potential
in seemingly ordinary objects.

Contemporary and dramatic.

Each piece is eye catching.

 

You can see more of this innovative work

at Maria Cristina Bellucci's website.
