Charm jewelry--a relic of bygone eras, a token of love and appreciation, extreme bauble goodness that can, at times, be overdone, or just wrong. That is, unless the charm jewelry is done by Denaz of Joy (username JoyandJewels on Etsy).
We aren't exaggerating when we say we like every single thing in her store, much like most of our favorites. Certain artists just have 'the touch' and they express their vision in a way we can incorporate into our daily lives. Based out of Devon in the UK, Joy jewelry has a look all it's own, and is a refreshing breath of air and whimsy. If you like granny's jewelry box, Extasia, and faery dust, you'll feel right at home wearing Joy.
What initially caught our eye was the vintage lucite flower garden. Very rarely do we run across a charm bracelet that is COVERED with stacked flower beads. Flowers upon flowers with bold and bright color combinations, this bracelet isn't for sissies or shrinking violets--it matches with everything and is basically like Springtime on your body 24/7. We love the sneaky pearl accents!
When we stopped drooling over the bracelet, we proceeded to look at the other goodies in the shop and discovered these black and blue crystal earrings. Placed on kidney wires, they are long, sparkly, and an unusual color combination that is eye catching. We love their regal appearance and feminine glamor, not to mention that the shapes look great together.
And finally, a truly cool piece of art--a collage necklace. The white clay rose is focal part and is surrounded by brass flowers with swarovski crystal hearts. The chain is woven pearls and copper beads, which is romantic, whimsical, and stunning. All together the colors, textures and shapes make a winning combination, perfect for fancy occasions or adding a little something special to your day.
