I have a confession to make: I watched James Cameron’s “Avatar” 3 times.

Yes, I really liked the story, the characters and all that, but I LOVED the magic world of “Pandora”. This colorful, untouched, rebellious place where vegetation twisted and turned as it pleased, taking shapes and colors that didn’t follow the rules of the world. This necklace is my own little Pandora. No rules and boundaries were applied in its conception, just free shapes and lots of colors, and it reflects what I imagine my own little corner in Pandora would like like 😉

My sister-in-law invited us to Longwood Gardens for a wine and jazz festival just outside of Philly. It turned out to be an amazing reminder of nature’s beauty and the nurturing power of water! Seeing so man unique, colorful, flirty and rebellious flowers left me humbled by nature’s creativity. The next day, while walking through our beautiful building’s lobby, I saw THE most beautiful flower arrangement I had seen. I later learned that they were artistically put together by a local Philly flower store called “Pure”.

This necklace is a homage to the never-ending beauty of flowers. The small “water can” is meant to highlight that water IS the precious source that brings not only beauty but also life to all creatures alike.

The inspiration came from a gorgeous dress worn by Gwyneth Paltrow that had this necklace’s color combination… so happy, strong and almost psychedelic. The energy of these colors pretty much drove the shapes, and almost “alien” forms of each part for this final piece. It suits my spirit today!

I saw this exuberant fabric (that I made into the blouse in the picture) at a nearby sewing shop called “Spool“. When I saw it, an image of the bracelet that you see above appeared in my head. I had to make it! This is a very different piece from what I typically make, but it was an instinctive desire I had to fulfill. Not quite sure if I like it just yet, but here it is

Mother’s day is just around the corner (at least here in the States), which made me think of my mom and recall so many memories. I wanted to make a piece that reflects how I feel and what comes to mind when I think of my beautiful Mami, and this is how the idea of a gorgeous peacock and its baby-chick came to mind. So…here you have it, this is my most humble attempt at expressing three things in the shape of a necklace:

…Timeless beauty

…Strength

…And infinite, selfless, protective LOVE.

This piece is dedicated to all of your mothers and to those of you who wear the mantel of motherhood every day.

Cheers!

The butterfly’s metamorphosis is such a great metaphor for life. We are all beautiful butterflies, but sometimes we remain caterpillars and fail to break out of our cocoons to become who we are meant to be, the best we can be, or simply said…to become butterflies. This necklace is meant to remind to whomever is wearing it that she IS a butterfly…a beautiful one.
