RUSTIC * EARTHY * ORGANIC BANGLES & more from Tamara Ruiz
Tamara Ruiz sent over some pictures of her newest jewelry designs… I just adore these bracelets!! The set of ten stacking bangles are made from several different kinds of wire; steel, copper and bronze. She makes all of the bangles by hand, even the ones that are wrapped with vintage fabrics and fibers. The bangles are all about texture . . . . coiled and hammered wire; vintage frayed silk; leather cord; vintage muslin and jute; handspun yarns and fibers; and wrapped with a confetti of small beads.
A single coil of wire is loaded with organic beads of bone, lava, horn, agate, and wood. Wire coils, vintage fabric, leather, vintage buttons and resin beads complete the bracelet with an earthy, natural twist. This will look so great with tank tops and sun dresess this summer!!
Three strands of green turquoise beads and nuggets, wrapped and hammered steel, vintage brass African trade bead, hand stamped copper tag, vintage Chinese coin, a small piece of frayed chartreuse silk, and a plump, carved melon bead comprise the design elements of this necklace. BALANCED, as the tag reads, by the muted shades of green and the combination of textures.
The talisman necklace is one of Tamara’s favorite necklaces to make, so it’s only natural that it also features a lot of her favorite elements – - acid etched metal, fossilized shells, beads of carved bone, wood, and recycled glass in many different shapes, coiled and hammered wire, chunks of agate, a big vintage brass trade bead from Africa and a couple of found objects. A variety of textures brought together by the harmony of a neutral palette.
LOVE Tamara’s style and organic approach to her jewelry… THANK You Tamara, xofancy
