Bloesem

Amazing handmade jewelry from Goldenink

Two artists, Katherine Wheeler and  Abby Seymour are Goldenink and together they create pieces that are hand crafted, painted and fired in their very own kiln. No mass production, casting or transfers are used. 

...And I love love love all the pieces, the ring and bracelet in the top is my absolute favorite because of the soft warm colors and the fragile illustration...wow these ladies have come up with a great and totally new to me looking collection of jewelry. The Blue from below is so fresh ...ready for summer and spring!... the shop is right here...

Sponsor Spotlight : Anne Louise

Ann Louise is a new sponsor of Bloesem and although this label is mainly about handmade jewelry I couldn't resist showing you some other work from German artist Antje...namely her 'kesser kasten' not sure what the proper English translation is, but Antje makes super fun art pieces for your wall out of old drawers, but like I said  in her etsy shop you will mainly find her jewelry made out of different buttons, beads and gems, fabrics and fibers, and other small treasures that she collected during her travels around the world.... visiting Antje's blog will tell you a bit more about her life... 

 

Sponsor Spotlight: Coatt's Morse Code necklaces

COATT  is Rebecca Coagan Scharlatt and she came up with this brilliant idea to design necklaces based on the idea of the morse code!  Using gold beads as dots and slashes, you can choose among a few pre-made sayings, such as love, mom, and SOS, or you can choose a personalized necklace with your choice of word or name or  your own secret message around your neck...I really LOVE this idea!!

At the moment Rececca also offers this great giveaway at her shop...WIN a personalized Morse Coded Necklace ...one winner will be selected every week through the end of the year! For more details click here...

Blue Hour Designs jewelry

My husband and I are currently watching the tv series The Tudors and when writing this post about the beautiful jewelery designs by Alysia Sánchez Melnikov from Blue Hours Designs I constantly think about the Tudors and the castle-style-living. Norbert, Alysia's husband contacted Bloesem a little while ago for sponsor information and I can only say he is one of the friendliest business men I have ever met. When you read their blog and see the images you probably will enjoy their travel adventures just as much as I do. And I can only smile when I see how much Alysia loves castles and anything ancient and old...image below is from Hamlet's castle in Denmark that the couple visited.

Alysia and Norbert life near Boulder, Colorado and together they run Blue Hour Designs. I absolutely love their jewelry and have my eyes set on the Canary ring in the image above...love love love it!
