Irma Guzman's Seashell Jewelry: Bold and Original (Caribe Collection Part 2)



The seashell pieces from our Caribe Collection are wonderfully handcrafted! We never thought of making seashell jewelry, but it all started on a trip we made to the South Padre Island in Texas, my husband and I were walking along the beach and came across a giant seashell... and I immediately fell in love with it, I thought, I could paint it and use it in my desk.  Later on, we found ourselves beachcombing and with a bag full of seashells and sand! It seems simple but it's so relaxing, besides we saw some interesting shapes and thought we could do something with those seashells, and this is the final result:

We wanted our seashell pieces to be different, bold, innovative and unusual. We used real seashells that we handpicked, mussel shells (which we bought), coconut shell coins, seeds, suede cords, wood beads, and chains. Their aesthetic is tropical chic!

The Sea Treasure Necklace  will become your favorite piece in summer and will give you that WOW look! The mussel shell drops give a feeling of movement and the range of yellows and browns from one drop to the next provide a beautiful contrast with the gold seashells creating a harmonious color scheme.

What Happens When You Mix Yellow & Turquoise?


What happens when you mix Yellow & Turquoise? All kinds of lovely things!  They are the sort of colors that take you somewhere sunny and dreamy.  And for that reason, this is just the kind of color palette that I like to see being used for the Spring and Summer months.  



Who could resist a necklace like this? Three small orange peel roses are the focal point of this exquisite necklace, and they are beautifully paired with orange bombona seeds hand-dyed by Colombian artisans. These beautiful roses are made from discarded orange peel thoroughly cleaned before undergoing one week sun-drying, shaping and dying process without losing their natural aroma.

This clutch from Mar y Sol brings this palette together in such a way that can only be described as beautiful! 



I couldn't be more in love with these Jimmy Choo swede espadrilles! 





Looking to add a little pizazz to your summer look? This orange peel bracelet is all you need!








So tell me, are you liking the way that these two colors pair up with one another?
