Jewelry Friday

Part of our costumes (or lack there of...) in La Traviata consists of really cool jewelry. I asked the costume designer Sanna Nyström where she had found it, and she said she had bough most of it at a shop called WOS. So of course I had to check this place out! WOS was launched in 2012, is run by Jenny Widing and Ulrika Stöllman, and has a physical shop in Stockholm, as well as a web shop. Their vision is to be able to offer an oasis of accessories, and also to be a stepping stone for unestablished avant-garde design. Currently they have around 80 designers and artists working for WOS, creating unique pieces of different materials. Although you find everything from bags and sunglasses to art here, this jewelry post will of course be about their jewelry! To see everything else WOS has to offer, just follow this link!

Maria Nilsdotter Jewelry

Swedish jewelry designer Maria Nilsdotter creates pieces inspired by a mysterious and dark fantasy world, often drawn from folk tales and mythology. The design is characterized by symbolic figures, unexpected twists and thought provoking contrasts... After graduating from renowned arts college Central Saint Martins in 2007 Maria started her brand right away, creating all her jewelry by herself. Since then her business has grown as demand for her pieces increased. In 2012 Maria was awarded the prestigious Guldknappen Accessoar for accessory designer of the year by Swedish magazine Damernas Värld, and today her jewelry is made by skilled craftsmen in Sweden and England, and is being sold by shops in several different countries, with her flagship store in Stockholm.

If you want to stand out in a crowd by wearing eye catching jewelry, Maria Nilsdotter's designs will certainly make people notice you! As usual, I have picked some of my personal favorites to show you, but to see it all, please visit Maria Nilsdotter's web site here!

She calls her brand PILL Jewelry - made from sweet fairytales and dark dreams, and her - all handmade - pieces combines an nice mixture of old strange photos, bugs and other obscure things. Here are a few of the pieces you find in her web shop, but she also makes custom made things if you crave something special!

I met Jo at Burleskloppis (The Burlesque Flea Market) a few weeks ago, and there I bought this Big X-Ray Bat Necklace from her. I love bats so wearing an actual x-ray of this fantastic creature around my neck feels great! There are many, many more wonderful pieces in Jo's web shop, so go ahead and visit her place of wonder - you find it here!

Macabre Gadgets

Just happened to stumble over a very cool jewelry designer - Macabre Gadgets. The handmade pieces in their collections have this blend of beauty and the macabre I love so much, and they are created from diverse materials like pressed coral, pressed bone, industrial polymer plastic and inlaid precious and semi-precious stones, pearls and metals.

"Macabre Gadgets is inspired by the infernal aesthetics of the dark side, which is inherent by the world view of mankind at all times, epochs and styles, from the early Middle Ages to progressive postmodernism."

Some favorites of mine:

Coral crown ring. Pressed coral, cultured pearls.

Bifacial skull ring. Polymer plastic, amethysts.

Raven skull ring, black. Polymer plastic.

Carpathia collar, black. Polymer plastic, silver, caoutchouc.

Black snake earrings. Polymer plastic, silver.

Octopus ring, white. Pressed coral, cultured pearls.

Caprinae notebook. Leather, paper, polymer plastic.
