Jewelry Making

Mariska Design from The Netherlands (which is of course run by someone named Mariska) offers bracelets, necklaces, and earrings in warm colors like pink, peach and purple. Having started designing her own jewelry while at HKU Utrecht School of the Arts in the Netherlands, she decided to offer some of her creations online. She uses a lot of pearls in her designs but also adds precious gemstones and Swarovski Crystals into the mix.

From her website:

I’m constantly trying out new techniques and materials to come to new designs.
My style is classic combined with modern. On this website you can see the result.
Only high quality materials are used in my jewelry.

When I go on holiday in other countries I bring back many different exotic beads .
I brought back beads from spain, USA, Italy, Germany and other countries. I use
these imported beads in my designs.

Although this “Rose Quartz” Bracelet is one of the more simpler designs she has I still thought it was nice. It uses rose quartz along with Swarovski crystal beads. I like how most of her designs are not overly ornate or complicated but seem to have a nice flow to them. Two other designs I liked but haven’t shown here are the cranberry - thanksgiving looking Necklace “Rosso” and the unusual Swarovski flower cluster on satin ribbon necklace called the Necklace “Rosa Fiore”.
