Today I'm featuring a jewelry artist from Manchester, England! Luto Jewellery on Etsy is a little jewelry shop that's currently getting a re-vamp, but I think it's a shop you'll like to browse and watch in the future!
There are so many more pieces to be added and to find that perfect piece, this is a shop you might just have to keep an eye on as new pieces are added.
Leonnie, the artisan behind the pieces in this shop, started making jewelry so she could have her own pieces without paying the growing market prices of commercial jewelry. After making her own pieces for a time, she then moved on to making jewelry for others!
Her goal is to run a shop where customers from all over the world can enjoy her jewellery at prices that everyone can afford and, although her collection is currently small, she's on her way to doing just that! So be sure to stop by and take a peek at this lovely shop and give a boost to a new and upcoming artisan on the handmade marketplace!

I am so completely in love with these earrings!
Those plum drops and the beautiful colors of the swirl beads. The whole combination just draws my eye and makes me salivate.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Today's shop has a lot of gorgeous pieces like these, too! HeadpinWear on Etsy is filled with a terrific collection of beautiful jewelry from earrings to necklaces, bracelets and more.
The shop is organized to find what you want, too! Not just with sections for each type of jewelry they offer but also an "under $20.00" section for those browsing on a budget.
Czech glass shimmers among gemstones and crystals in this wonderful shop with a subtle, earthy feel combined with a touch of elegance.

Blue and brass, feathers and a touch of nautical accents. All brought together, you end up with a beautiful shop ran by a spectacular artisan. Maureen Kirchdoerfer creates gorgeous items offered in her shop, Release Me Creations (Zen25), on Etsy!
This shop is filled with a wonderful and creative collection of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and cuffs, rings, cufflinks and more. I'm particularly drawn to the pieces that have a nautical and ocean theme including necklaces depicting dangling seashells and a truly spectacular brass wrist cuff with a detailed octopus design depicted on its surface.
There are even a few creative pieces like the one featured in this post that have natural elements included from seashells to fossilized sharks teeth.
Maureen puts a great deal of herself into each and every piece she designs. This creates an incredible release for her heart, mind, and soul that has assisted her through rough times and continues to soothe the soul in today's hectic world.
Whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for a gift for someone else.... Whether you're looking for gothic or funk, cuteness or funk....

The very first thing I wondered when I saw today's feature shop was to wonder what the name meant.
Designs by M'Ayanna on Etsy.
It's a beautiful name. Colorful. Graceful. And these qualities are perfect for it's meaning as well! Because M'Ayanna means "Mommy and Ayanna".
How did this beautiful name come about?
When today's artisan first started creating jewelry, her focus was on finding a wonderful creative outlet for her pre-teen daughter. Instead, it turned into an outlet for her! Where her daughter's interests were fleeting and waned quickly (as children's interests often do), Patrice carried on creating beautiful designs and creative jewelry.
At first just a hobby to soothe the soul, as often happens with creative people, her creativity soon overflowed and has since developed into a business as well as a hobby.
Her daughter (now 18) still contributes, although now she is the creative critique rather than a jewelry designer herself and together their shop has developed into a beautiful home for an eclectic collection of jewelry styles and designs that are sure to spice up the outfits of any who wear them!

YourDailyJewels on Etsy is filled with an abundant amount of shimmer and shine in the form of beautiful handmade jewelry designed using a variety of semiprecious gemstones and sterling silver accents. There are also a few pieces offered in gold-fill as well!
Norah, the owner of YourDailyJewels, is a wonderful artisan jewelry designer who had been creating jewelry for a number of years. As a physical therapist, she first began creating jewelry as a form of rewards system for her patients. This gave birth to a brand new creative outlet for Norah, who had collected unusual beads and stones since childhood!
Now she loves go come home each day to work on her designs and create new and beautiful pieces for others to enjoy and feel beautiful wearing.
Norah's shop on Etsy now carries a wide selection of modern, glamorous and affordable jewelry that women will be happy wearing everyday.

For today's feature shop I had an extremely hard time picking a picture. There's just so much jewelry in this shop that I've fallen in love with that it was nearly impossible to pick just one. In fact, it was so impossible that I decided to use one of the features on Etsy called an "Etsy Mini" to share four of them with you instead!
Taylor's Eclectic on Etsy is filled with beautiful colorful jewelry with a delicate, feminine flair that draws the eye and tempts my wallet... and I'm positive that it's going to tempt your wallet too no matter if you're looking for a gift for yourself or shopping for someone else.
All pieces are in Taylor's Eclectic are individually hand-sculpted of paper and wire for a unique, artisan style. There are no molds or forms involved in the work at all. Instead, each piece is a wearable sculpture, specially sealed using a technique the artisan herself developed so that they are waterproof against the worst of weather conditions.
Taylor's Eclectic also offers custom orders! So if you feel inspired by the artist's work but would like something made just to your specifications or your imagination's musings, you can contact the artist for custom work as well.

Today's feature shop is run by an artisan that I spent a great deal of 
time with online. We are both members of the Etsy Bloggers Team as well as mentoring members of the Boosting Etsy Shops Team on Etsy.
Both of these teams are geared towards helping promote others and helping other sellers "learn the ropes" of selling online. This is especially true for the Boosting Etsy Shops Team, where Karen works tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly both behind the scenes as well as up front and center for everyone involved.
Karen also runs her own shop on Etsy as well. MysticWynd on Etsy is filled with beautiful jewelry not to mention really impressive displays -of- that jewelry through her product photos as well. In fact, over the upcoming spring season, I hope to take a few lessons from her creatively inspired displays and try to incorporate them into my own picture taking endeavors.
Instead of being organized in the traditional (and often boring) sections of "necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc", Karen has set up her shop in a fresh and inspiring collections of sections such as "Angels, Fairies and Fantasy" and "Floral, Forest and Butterflies" as well as many other themes.
This shop is a terrific place to stop this spring to refresh your jewelry selection with some new pieces or just a fun place to brows and pick up a couple new favorites to add to your collection.

If you like silver jewelry, pearls and elegant style you're going to love a browse through today's feature shop.
CKSilver on Etsy is filled with all of these things.
CKSilver offers handcrafted sterling silver jewelry that is beautiful, timeless and elegant. Each piece of jewelry is unique, and many are one of a kind.
The shop is stocked and ran by a mother and daughter team of artisan jewelry designers, Cindy and Marilyn, who both love creating classic pieces of jewelry that are perfect for everything from casual wear to elegant ensembles, weddings and more. Most pieces incorporate a combination of components from sterling silver and freshwater pearls to semi-precious stones and swarovski crystals.
Cindy and Marilyn are both highly creative women with terrific taste and a talent for combining together different components into unique pieces of jewelry any woman would feel beautiful in and be proud to wear.
Marilyn and her daughter both have similar taste and designs but each put their own personal flair into their pieces, creating a shop that's stocked with a cohesive style and variety at the same time.
Each piece is created with experience, excellence and pride in workmanship, and they even offer custom orders (including custom requests for specific birthstones, gemstones, etc) for those shopping for a piece of jewelry that has a bit of a more personal touch and feel to it.

Today's shop is a wonderful little corner of Etsy ran by a couple that share a great passion for all things rustic and handmade.
Paulapi's "Rustic by Design" Shop on Etsy is filled with beautiful handmade jewelry with a rustic feel and a bohemian look. The collection includes natural made items designed from thread, stone, leather and wood with an artistic flair.
They have woven thread bracelets, stone earrings and pendants, leather pieces and wood pendants as well as a couple of pieces that are made with natural pressed flowers!
The artisans behind this shop are free spirited and creative, designing innovative pieces with an earthy essence. They believe in the importance and freedom of self-expression as well as the exploration of your true self. The jewelry and imagery that they design reflects these two ideals beautifully and you'll love taking a browse to discover everything they have to offer!

Today's shop is ran by Agnes, a mother of five and grandmother of six who lives in Brooklyn, NY and is a member of the BESTeam (Boosting Etsy Shops Team) that I am also a member of on Etsy.
Her shop, BeaderBubbe on Etsy, is filled with tons of little baubles and beautiful jewelry that uses gemstones and other beads to create splashes of color for your wardrobe.
Agnes is always busy with work and family and many of her jewelry pieces never make it to her shop because co-workers and family have a habit of snapping them up as soon as they're done!
BeaderBubbe is filled with both classic pieces and others that are a splash of color and unique in design and the combination works! I'm particularly fond of the necklace that's pictured here in this post as well as a butterfly necklace you won't be able to miss when you stop by to check out Agnes' shop.

Like most chainmail, I'm very intrigued by this particular bracelet in today's shop. I can't help it. I don't quite have the patience to design chainmail myself and when I see it in other's work it instantly draws me.
Today's shop is filled with a variety of bits of jewelry to catch the eye, but this is, bar none, my absolute favorite. Not just the chainmail but also the colors incorporated into the piece make it both eye-catching and intriguing.
ElizabethMD on Etsy is ran by a woman fascinated by fashion and holds a degree in Fashion Merchandising to prove it! The designs offered in her shop varies from simple pieces to the more complicated like the one that you see here in this post. And, she's in the process of filling her shop with an even larger variety to choose from.

It's Christmas eve, and I hope that all of you that are celebrating the holiday have a wonderful and magical Christmas tomorrow. I know a few will, because they'll be getting gifts from today's feature shop!
BijuBrill on Etsy is a unique jewelry shop that I ran across the other day while browsing that is filled with some beautiful pieces that are distinctly different than most of the jewelry you come across not just on Etsy but in the world at large as well!
Designed from Swarovski crystals, sterling silver and leather. The artist behind Biju Brill loves to design pieces that make her customers feel beautiful and unique when wearing them and most of the creations in this shop are unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that you won't see repeated.
This Romanian artisan creates beautiful pieces too, that are sure to catch the eye and turn heads. She's detail oriented with an eye for aesthetics and she's very focused on creating quality in her pieces.
Like me, Biju Brill believes that jewelry is capable to storing energy, for this reason, she takes care to never create when she's having a bad day or in a bad mood in order to avoid passing on negative vibes to my customers through her jewelry.
Whether Christmas eve or Christmas day or any day at all, Biju Brill's shop is a joy to browse through, so stop by and take a look around!

As an American who was born and raised in New York and has since lived abroad in Bangkok, Thailand and now in Santiago, Chili you'd expect the owner of the shop "Blue and White Jewelry Wear" to have some eclectic tastes. And you'd be right!
Clair, the shop owner of Blue and White Jewelry Wear on Etsy is in love with the porcelain blue and white Chinese beads and a variety of her work in her shop is created by combining those beads with other materials.
She has a variety of very unique pieces including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, wine glass charms and more! Many of them are featuring those lovely porcelain blue and white beads, and there's a variety that continue the oriental flair in other colors as well!

Doesn't the picture of this beautiful piece look like a painting? I was just amazed when I saw it. It looks too perfect to be a photograph, and with the background behind the necklace and earrings, that perfection ends up making the picture look like an oil painting.
I love creativity like this. Jewelry, on its own, is just gorgeous and today's shop has a lot of beautiful pieces. But, when you can then incorporate the pieces into a piece of art photography like this, it brings browsing someone's site to a whole new level.
Mystic Wynd on Etsy's shop is filled with beautiful jewelry and interesting display pictures, too. It makes it a real joy to browse through, and one that I'm sure you'll enjoy.
On her profile, Mystic Wynd's shop owner, Karen, states that "whether your style is simple or bold, classic or trendy, elegant or glitzy, Mystic Wynd has something for you at a prices you can afford". After a browse through her site, I'm positive you'll agree!

Today I have the honor of introducing you to one of the very first shops I ever visited on Etsy and I have to say that the shop definitely left a positive and lasting impression with me.
Although there are plenty of elegant shops and artisan designs on Etsy to browse through, Tissage on Etsy is the first and only shop that comes to mind when I have been asked to recommend a shop that I feel is "The Embodiment of Elegance". I can find more, of course, but when I have to answer off the top of my head this is always the seller that comes to mind and that I refer people to first.
Tissage on Etsy is filled with beautiful handcrafted jewelry, hats, bags and scarves with a touch of vintage style and a pinch of modern romance incorporated into each piece.
Tory, the artist behind all of 
these elegant works, is well rounded with a veritable cornucopia of talents at her disposal and studies scattered through her past. This includes studying painting in France, weaving in Italy and sculpture in college.
There are so many gorgeous pieces in this shop that I had a hard time picking just two to feature for this post! If you're looking for something elegant, whether for a special occasion, everyday wear or a gift, you're going to want to take a browse in this shop.

Am I the only one that thinks the stones in this piece of jewelry look like peeled blood oranges? It's a remarkable resemblance and the minute I saw this piece my mouth was watering and I was considering when I could make it to the market and pick up some fruit!
The stones in this piece are frosted orange agates and they're not the only beautiful stones you'll see when you visit today's shop.
Blue Forest Jewellery on Etsy is filled with tons of beautiful pieces made from unique and unusual stones, and a few classics as well! Blue Forest Jewellery is all about color and experimenting with different combinations to create stunning pieces in semi precious stones, silver and pearls.
There's a beautiful combination of pieces in this shop and I'm sure you'll enjoy a browse around, so be sure to stop by and check them out!

My great-grandmother used to do tatting, which if you don't know, is a technique used to make lace.
The lace is designed by a series of delicate, intricate knots and loops and the end result is both beautiful and elegant as well as usually durable.
I have many hand-me-downs from my great-grandmother and many of them are bits of tatting but until I came across today's shop I never really realized just how very spectacular tatting could fit into today's world and fashions.
Such beautiful craftsmanship should be living on through the generations but like many of the craftsman and artisan talents and styles of the past, in our fast paced lives it seems that such unique and time consuming skills have gone to the way-side or been farmed out to factories.
Totus Mel Tats on Etsy is helping to breathe new life into this beautiful form of artisan craft and has shone a whole new light on this art that, over the years and like so many others, has quickly and very sadly come to near-extinction.
Pamela Quevedo is the artisan behind these beautiful 
works and although her style leans towards the dark, gothic, steampunk and Neo Victorian, there is no doubt that her pieces can (and will) appeal to a much wider audience.
From intricate masquerade masks to lace spats, jewelry and more, Pamela's shop has some breathtaking pieces that are beautifully photographed and unique beyond words. In fact, I'm particularly infatuated with the collar necklaces like the one pictured above which come in a number of styles both in wedding white and Gothic black.
If you're shopping for that perfect gift for either a gothic chic, a fashion forward fashionista with an eye for detail or even some wedding accessories that are sure to catch the eye this is definitely the shop for you. You won't want to miss taking a browse through what Totus Mel Tats has to offer.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July yesterday!
Today I'd like to introduce you to a member of Etsy who is not just a team member in the BESTeam (Boosting Etsy Shops Team) that I've mentioned here on the blog in the past but is also a fellow member of the QESTeam (Queer Etsy Street Team)!
The Queer Etsy Street Team is a very supportive and wonderful team of sellers who fit into the spectrum of the LGBTQ society (that would be Lesbian Gay Bi Transgenders Queer). Since July is Pride Month, it's my honor to be able to introduce to you one of the members of this team during such an important time of year!
Ellesbeads on Etsy is filled with funky eco-friendly jewelry and accessories including not just Pride Jewelry but also earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, charms, brooches, barrettes, bookmarks, cell charms and more. I'm particularly intrigued by the rings they have for sale. As you can see by the picture in this post, they're very unique!
Everything is colorful and bright and absolutely beautiful, much of which is vintage inspired with a twist and often takes recycled goods as well as donated and discarded items and combines them with beautiful beads to create many of the pieces offered!

I'm all over the place on the net and I discover the artisans and artists that I feature on this blog from just about everywhere I visit from photograph sites to search engines, browsing through Etsy, Artfire, 1000 Markets and Zibbet to forays into Facebook and Twitter.
Today's shop, I first discovered on Flickr! You'd be amazed just how many artists and artisans (besides just photographers) are on Flickr showing off their creations, their work spaces, homes and creative processes through photographs.
Yali Paz-Gilboa is one of these and I did a little digging through her profile to find her outside Flickr for further exploration. She has a lot to explore too!
Yali designs the cutest brooches you'll ever set eyes on, and that's what at first drew me to her work. Wonderful hand embroidered felt brooches of little girls in different colors, styles and shapes abound in her shop. Each one with it's own personality and sense of style. Eye colors, hair colors, skin colors and hats abound... all with pretty lips and rosy cheeks.
She also offers colorful felt flower clip barrettes, unique embroidered wall art, magnets, necklaces, rings as well as other hair accessories.
All of her items are so very adorable and you'll be hard pressed to choose just one. These wonderful pieces will also make terrific gifts for just about anyone from little girls to mothers, grandmothers, neighbors and friends. They're sure to bring a smile to the face of any girl or woman who appreciates cuteness, no matter the age.

As you might imagine, I'm a big fan of the classics. Monet, Renoir, DaVinci, Michi... okay, so the last one is a little more modern as it's of the art nouveau era, but still.
The fact is that in the world of budding artisans and creative enlightenment, many of us forget to look back and appreciate the talents of those that came before us.
What I noticed about today's shop is that they have an appreciation for this history as well and it shows not just in many of the designs in her shop but also in the fact that she actually features some of these historical pieces in her jewelry.
Maria Bella Jewelry is filled with pieces that she describes as a "contemporary vintage look". This is a style of jewelry I'm particularly fond of. She works with silver, gemstones, crystals, pearls, glass and wood beads, combining them with a number of different metals and textures to create a number of very pretty, feminine and unique pieces.
