Lilia Shatnaya creates necklaces and earrings with a bold and sometimes elaborate flair. These are a bit more ornate than the pieces I usually review, but they are quite striking in character which is what led me to take a second look.
Originally from Ukraine, Lilia first worked as a web graphics, video and special effects designer before discovering jewelry making as her true calling.
While on a search for a job in the Computer Design field, Lilia started making jewelry. She taught herself wire wrapping, gemstone names and properties and soon a line of jewelry emerged.
As many successful ventures, this one started as a hobby but soon grew into a full time business. She is now attending New York s FIT Jewelry Design Program.
Lilia makes all the pieces by hand.
She uses semiprecious stones to complement the antique filigrees in the pieces. Lilia doesn t like dull colors and like the designer, her line is vibrant, colorful, fun and flirty
Mariska Design from The Netherlands (which is of course run by someone named Mariska) offers bracelets, necklaces, and earrings in warm colors like pink, peach and purple. Having started designing her own jewelry while at HKU Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands, she decided to offer some of her creations online.
She uses a lot of pearls in her designs but also adds precious gemstones and Swarovski Crystals into the mix.
I m constantly trying out new techniques and materials to come to new designs.
My style is classic combined with modern.
On this website you can see the result.
Only high quality materials are used in my jewelry.
I brought back beads from spain, USA, Italy, Germany and other countries.
