Claudia and Catalina, the sister duo of Cleo and Cat, produce a bold artistic collection of polymer clay jewelry. Their pieces are great attention-grabbers, as they are rich with color and semi-precious stones.
The polymer clay medium allows for a sculptural quality, while the large scale of each piece magnifies a great attention to detail. I am particularly drawn to Cleo and Cat's collection of rings called Drama, Fusion and Nocturnal -- be sure to check them out.
