"Forbidden Lands" Cuff Bracelet by Mandarin Duck

"Forbidden Lands Bracelet" is one of my latest pieces  and it was inspired by deep jungle in India, where there are hidden ancient ruins and massive ancient trees grow over them, tightly holding on with their roots and grow through the ancient buildings.

It took me 3 months to make it. It's not that easy to stay in forbidden lands, so I had to make 3 small journeys.

Came back with my wrists hurting from painstaking texture applications and had to recover between every journey :)

That's why it took me so long to make it. But I hope what I brought from my imaginary Forbidden Lands will find reflection in your hearts. This bracelet is truly a treasure I discovered in my heart.

Drops of Color

Hi everyone!

Today I would like to present you another beautiful bracelet that I worked on during the last couple of months. Not all the time of course, just during :)

I named this bracelet "Drops of Color" as this is what it basically is :) Bracelet full of lovely, colourful drops and beautiful sparkle and shimmer.

It is made from polymer clay and is decorated with svarowski crystals and other metallic elements in different colours. All the textures and effect are achieved 100% by hand.

Once I created a test necklace with a very similar effect and I managed to sold it in Malta during the gallery sale, so I decided to make another item like this as it looked so joyful and happy, but also very chic and night out orientated ( if I can put it this way...).

Item is available in my ETSY SHOP. 

Enjoy the pictures!

The Cuff of Purifying Energy by Mandarin Duck

Hello everyone!

I am quite excited to present you one of my new jewellery collection pieces - "The Cuff of Purifying Energy".

I decided to name this bracelet : "The Cuff of Purifying Energy" because it reminds me of a magical artefact piece and it was inspired by my love for labradorite crystals, starry dark sky with northern lights and beautiful, slightly golden moonlight. Labradorite stones are believed to have a power of protection and their magnificent transforming colourful ever transforming sparkle can easily make this crystal to be one of the most beautiful on the planet.

This bracelet is a part of "Ancient Stories" jewelry collection by Mandarin Duck aka Aniko Kolesnikova which I started two years ago and I still keep adding to the line from time to time. This collection is inspired by heavy medieval metals, little golden sparks of fire and beautiful semiprecious stones (for this bracelet it's labradorite). Pieces in this collection have rather different styles but they all are unified by black and gold/silver tones, different material imitations and shiny magical speckles.
This bracelet opens in the middle allowing a comfortable fit and it's oval shape makes it wrap around your wrist better, without leaving empty spaces and avoiding excess dangling on your hand. Hunting for such jewellery supply is always an adventure itself and when you find one, you feel very inspired straight away.
Very unique item, one of a kind (OOAK).

At the moment it is available in my ETSY SHOP.

Here are some more pictures and I am sorry that this type there will be no pictures of progress as for some reason I was so drawn into making this bracelet that I forgot to take couple of shots!
