Emily Woudenberg Makes Stunning Accessories Out of Bugs and Clay

— May 7, 2013 — Fashion
Jewelry is something that can become boring or unexciting as it is often designed from the same materials, causing it to blend in to the background. These pieces made by designer Emily Woudenberg incorporate objects that you would never think of adorning yourself with, making her jewelry totally different and note worthy.

Using rare and uncommon objects like beetles, concrete, copper, rope and opalescent pendulums, Emily creates pieces that are worlds different from other accessories. The designer treats each piece as a work of art and isn't afraid to take risks with the individual pieces.

From bold statement necklaces to bangles completely cast of concrete, the variety of elements used to make these pieces is astounding. If you like to wear accessories that have a back story and are crafted by hand, you should incorporate an Emily Woudenberg piece into your wardrobe.
