I am very happy to let you know that the first Bloesem jewelry collection… the Pink Collection… is now available! So how did this collection come into existence you wonder (especially since I have such a hard time finding jewelry that I think look nice on me…)…the last few weeks when my mom was visiting KL we did quite a bit of window shopping, my mom loves necklaces and we spend lots of time in jewelry stores…not buying anything… but both of us developed what I think is “necklace fever”… I was particularyly drawn to the 'simple' necklaces with big round stones and beads in earthy colors...so I took a leap of faith and actually bought many wooden beads and stones that I really like and some equipment and created my own necklaces…the result...the Pink Collection…
...'Pink' because they all have one or more “Roze Quartz” stones….a few necklaces even have embroidered stones… I particularly like those…creating pieces that are just a bit different and a bit more personal….each necklace has a different design… so unique in a way… there are only twenty of them…
I think the necklaces will look wonderful on a cocktail dress… they have a festive look and are feminine and fun to look at… a bit nonchalant but also daring… not sure how else to describe them… you can wear them during Christmas dinner but also casually with a blouse or jeans or something… anyway, I hope you like them… the Pink Collection is available in Bloesem’s Etsy shop where you can see more images.

Wow. I love the big, generous shapes...and that you let the shapes and colors be their own ornament. Sculptural...and shows your joy for the materials! Congratulations!!
