I am a big fun of Indian culture, design, music and what ever else there is. Although I am pretty subtle on my colour choices and lines I get mesmerized by the Indian bright colours and intricate designs.

And so when I visited the Isharya Jewellery line I had to take my favourite pieces and showcase them here.  This brand is very famous and worn by many hollywood celebs. It started in 2004 and has become one of the most fashionable indian inspired brands. As the two women that design the jewellery lines write, their influences are from Indian royalty and the Art Nouveau style of the early 20th century.

From the Geodes and Cubist collections

From the Bollywood star collection

Amazing bright colours for warm days – from last year’s spring/summer collection

This my first attempt to make bread sticks. I got the recipe from a book I bought last week. I made a hell lot of them so I need to perform a distribution to the family & friends . These are perfect for dipping in olive tapenade  and/or the chickpea dip that I made.

I had bookmarked Caroline’s site few months ago, I don’t remember how I found it though. Take a look at some of my favourite pieces from her line. Her inspiration comes from the water drop as you will able to see from the following images.

A few weeks now a best friend has asked me to make her a brooch to wear with a  specific sweater she has. Its been a long time since I practiced metal-smithing so I was feeling a bit hesitant…I was thinking hard about the design of the brooch.

She had to remind me a couple of times, asking me when is my brooch going to be ready, have you started working on it yet? Thankfully she let me do whatever I wanted, and I came up with this.

The A is for her 9 month old baby, soon to be called Achilles.

Update: After the photo was taken I textured the whole surface of the letter.

Trove is a emerging australian  label of jewellery,  made of resin and beautiful handmade papers. I like the bold shapes and the retro feeling of the papers.

Brooke McAlary is the designer behind the brand, she started experimenting with her designs  in 2006.
