It's always wonderful to come across local artisans and independent designers who have such a passion in their body of work. I thought that I would share a few under the radar designers that I am loving at the moment. These accessories designers all tell a unique story in their pieces, which are influenced by everything from their cultures to mere shape and colour.

*Spotlight* MeDusa
Tel Aviv based designing pair Gili Rozin and Adi Gal produce artful jewellery and accessory pieces with a youthful and modern sensibility. I love the irregular shapes created in the pieces, just as in their oversize, yet lightweight black chandelier earrings with chain, and in the shell-like earrings that could also be interpreted as the outline of floral petals.
You'll find textile impressions as well as colourful and daring combinations in their works ... all wearable! MeDusa uses an industrial technique in their handmade pieces with processed plastic that's quite different than traditional jewellery making methods. See their necklace above and also below my favourite earrings from the collection.

I love the blue 'Photinus' necklace by Shanny Alon; and Badawyan earrings by Ananasa. Just love blues and greens. That's very lovely of you to feature under the radar designers. Back in Manila years ago, I used to buy accessories from a girl who made bespoke pieces and sold in bazaars. She eventually had her concessions in major dept stores and her work became mainstream. Whilst it was good for her, I did feel that the pieces were not as unique. I've kept some of her stuff and they're still as good as new as when I first bought them 11 years ago. Have a lovely week Madison! xx
ReplyDeleteSuch unique designs! I really love that last Albion necklace. Gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteYou're tugging at my fashion jewelry addict heart strings! Love, love, love Medusa Pompon necklace. I would wear that all day!
ReplyDeletei haven't purchased store bought jewelry in awhile. i've been going to etsy and such. there's something special about the jewelry when someone makes it. it's unique and different!

I got Badawayans earrings from Ananasa and they look sooo cool. They are offering free shipping so I thought it's a perfect opportunity.

Stunning pieces and I agree, it's always lovely to find something hand made instead of mass produced!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous selection of pieces, Madison! I must say, I've come to really love buying independent, particularly when it comes to accessories... there is just so much passion that goes into the creation of the pieces, it practically feels tangible when you hold them in your hands!
