From beautifully curated dried flower pendants to Bohemian-inspired gemstone bracelets, Etsy user Mariaela sells a range of artistic nature-inspired handmade jewelry. The practice is run by the Polish designer, who melts the glass and frames the trinkets herself, and her husband.
The nature-inspired handmade jewelry shows off a unique DIY vibe, as no two pendants are the same in shape or look. When flowers are the main design element, Mariaela handpicks them herself and dries them in a notebook. The artisan also manufactures Boho gemstone jewelry—using materials like natural amethyst, 100% copper chains, as well as raw moonstone and quartz.
Each piece in the naturally inspired handmade jewelry line makes for a wonderful and personal gift that carries within it spiritualism, naturalism and hedonism with a vintage-style aesthetic.
