By Heather O’Cain, BluKatDesign on Etsy

 

Have you ever seen a wine cork necklace? I love the challenge of taking an everyday object like a wine cork and making something beautiful and unique like these one-of-a-kind wine cork necklaces. These long necklaces include gorgeous glass or crystal beads and vintage charms or buttons. They are lightweight and so fun to wear! These wine cork necklaces are great for wine tasting parties or gifts for wine lovers. Please click on photos to take you to my Etsy store for details:

Egyptian style is trending this spring, Click on photo above to see more Egyptian styles from Fashion Week. Look for Egyptian style motifs like ankhs, snakes and wings are just some of the few.

Runway fashion vs real world. As a jewelry designer I like to get ideas from the runway, as crazy as they are and interpret them for the real world! I love bright colors and this clown-like photo from Armani Prive Spring 2019 Couture Show was the inspiration:

Below is my version with my red and blue poppy statement necklace and a flattering form fitting blue dress to make the necklace pop! Slim blue denim earrings blend with the dress, plain but elegant shoes in nude for a classy look! Keep it simple when wearing a statement necklace! I suggest a bright red clutch to go with:
