Over the years, we have seen Crayola crayons being used for much more than just drawing and writing. People are carving them, placing them in resin to create tabletops and much more. Inspired by the versatility of Crayola crayons as well as their iconic look, jewelry designer Nadine Ghosn recently decided to create a line of intriguing bracelets.

Ghosn and Crayola teamed up to release bracelets that look exactly like Crayola crayons but won’t break or melt when placed on your wrist. Just like Crayola crayons, these bracelets, called “Color-FULL,” come in all sorts of colors and feature a golden “cover,” so it shouldn’t be hard to find the one you like. There is also a white crayon bracelet that features a gray cover.

Additionally, Ghosn also created a collection of rings inspired by Crayola crayons.

However, these Crayola crayon bracelets and rings are not cheap. Being sold through British online marketplace DSML E-SHOP, the price of bracelets ranges from £18,100 ($23,130) to £18,950 ($24,210), while the rings are priced at £6,400 ($8,178).

This isn’t the first time Ghosn has reached out to art supplies for inspiration. Previously, the jewelry designer presented bracelets inspired by regular pencils and iconic BIC pens.

We are accustomed to seeing insects being used as inspiration for jewelry, and you have probably come across a few butterfly brooches yourself. However, it is safe to say that digital artist Sasha Vinogradova is taking insect jewelry design to a whole other level.

Vinogradova is a talented digital artist and illustrator who uses 3D and photo compositing “to explore a variety of themes like nature, sensuality, spirituality”. One of her projects that she is most famous for is designing jewelry pieces inspired by nature, mainly insects.

These pieces see Vinogradova borrowing the shapes and characteristics of butterflies, beetles, and bees, encompassing them in shiny metal and decorating them with gemstones, ornaments, and complex patterns.

When creating these astonishing jewelry designs, Vinogradova aims to make them unique but also connect them with other entries in the same series. This, according to her, represents one of the biggest challenges of the project.

“Each piece needed to look great as individual artwork, but also as a part of the series,” Vinogradova explained in a recent interview. “One of the biggest challenges was to decide on the right amount of ornaments to maintain artistic balance.”

Naida C. Castel’s jewelry pieces are a reminder that there’s beauty in the imperfect. Sometimes, a diamond in the rough needs no further polishing. Based in Barcelona, Castel’s pieces are handmade and hand-sculpted at her studio. Through her practice, she experiments with the spontaneity of forms, with the aim of displaying the honesty of the material and its process.

As such, there’s no wrong or right when it comes to her creative process. “I draw all the ideas that come to my mind,” she explained in an interview with Arcana Magazine. “When I like the shapes and random ideas I have got, I decide some viable pieces and I make samples in metal. After making, repeating and trying I put them all together to see how the family looks.”

Usually, Castel ends up choosing the roughest and most unpredictable shapes, explaining that those are often more attractive and tend to capture those elusive feelings that you can’t explain with words.

With a love of beauty in all its multitude and forms, Castel says she draws her inspiration from traveling around the world and experiencing different cultures and people. Her meaningful jewelry makes the perfect gift for a friend or yourself.

“We just design what we love and what we want to wear,” the two shared in an interview with Vogue. “It is such a dream to see that people really respond to your vision of aesthetics and actually wear it.”

“There is so much available on the market but many collections feel impersonal and replaceable when in fact, jewelry is actually a very personal piece since you wear so close to the body,” they note. “There’s much more to it than just looking good. That’s the reason we were inspired to tell our own stories through our jewelry line.”

Both personal and stylish, their pieces include elements like green shells, coral, and jasper stones. There’s also an ethical and environmental core to their brand, as they make sure that the shells and coral they use are not on the protected species list. The pieces themselves are handmade by a collective of women who would otherwise be unemployed.

We know what pieces we’ll be rocking when quarantine is over…

While we tend to stick to more conservative choices with our outfits, when it comes to choosing the right accessory we like mixing things up. A playful necklace or a quirky enamel pin might upgrade your monochromatic look and take it to that next level. Such are Elyse Tolles’ earrings.

“All I’ve ever really wanted is to spend my life making and being surrounded by beautiful things,” writes Tolles on her website. Made using polymer clay, each of her pieces is individually designed, pigmented, sculpted, and detailed by hand from start to finish. The end result is a one of a kind piece – the antithesis to mass-produced, fast fashion items.

Established in 2015, Tolles’ brand, Elysian Theory, values intentional craftsmanship. Named after her first name, Tolles explains that in classical mythology, the Elysian Fields were a dreamed about place of ultimate beauty and happiness. “Elysian means beautiful, blissful, and ethereal, and also happens to be one possible origin story for my name, Elyse,” she notes.

According to Tolles, she values greatly the opportunity to be a part of the transformative effect that can happen when a person looks and feels their best. That’s also where she finds inspiration.

“I’m constantly inspired by the nothing-short-of-magical feeling you get from wearing a gorgeous pair of statement earrings,” she says, “and it’s my greatest honor to be able to pass that along to you.”

We’re delighted to introduce you to Scandinazn, a brand dedicated to recycled leather jewelry whose name comes from the combination of the words “Scandinavian” and “Asian.” The brainchild of self-taught jewelry maker, Jamie Carlson, Scandinazn isn’t for the faint of heart, providing a sort of mashup between minimalism and playfulness, with the promise to add a pop of quirkiness to your ensemble.

Originally from Kelowna and currently based in Vancouver, Carlson draws from her own background, being part Scandinavian and part Japanese. While the shapes and pops of color are borrowed from Scandinavian design, the subtle handmade intricacies of her designs echo Japanese art.

“I want my pieces to be eye-catching,” she told the Etsy blog. And eye-catching they are. “My jewelry-making process is self-taught,” she explains, “but it’s guided by what I was taught about design and construction.” With a background in apparel design, Carlson began experimenting with jewelry during a project at school where I worked with repurposed materials.

Incidentally, sustainability is equally important to her as the designs themselves. “There’s so much textile waste in the world, so I want to make the most of materials that are already out there,” she notes. According to Carlson, the main component of her products is recycled garments and scraps, making her accessories both ethical and stylish.

Philippines-based embroidery artist Ruby Thursday More turned her hobby into a career after her first child was born. “I used to work as a freelance photojournalist, but when I got pregnant, my husband and I decided that I’d stay at home for a while and take care of our daughter,” she recalled in an interview with the Etsy blog.

A creative at heart, Thursday More soon felt antsy and decided it was time to do something creative with the free time she had. “I started making an inventory of my skills and what I’d like to do, and I decided I’d really enjoy working with fabric and drawing and colors,” she notes. “I had a few threads, so I tried embroidering, and it’s cliché, but it was love at first sight.”

Embroidery, as it turns out, also runs in her genes. “Creating is in my blood,” she explained on her website. “My maternal grandmother used to make quilts and sell it to farmers during the harvest season.” Thursday More also remembers how her mother used to sew pencil cases and throw pillowcases. “I used to sit under her sewing machine, cutting away the excess threads from the things she has made.”

Nowadays, her embroidery takes the form of jewelry, with her unique necklaces featuring floral patterns that add a touch of vintage chic to any outfit. See for yourself.

Artist Oksana Trukhan from Ukraine introduces herself as a creator of a jewelry line inspired by nature. She makes pendants, rings, bracelets, and necklaces from silver, copper, and natural gemstones using only her sketches. She says that her favorite thing about creating jewelry is making people happy.

“My inspiration is around me – in the garden and woodland near my house,” Trukhan shared in a post on Bored Panda. “Long time ago I painted plants with watercolor. But over time, I wanted to recreate their beauty in sculpture. Silver is a perfect material for making leaves, berries, flowers, and twigs. And I can implement my ideas with this metal.”

According to the artist’s Etsy store, she also creates tutorials about the wire wrap art which you can find on her blog.

Don’t take it the wrong way, but we wish you would incorporate more garbage into your everyday look. That’s Garbage with a capital G. The fine jewelry brand with the tongue in cheek name features handcrafted pieces made with the highest quality materials by local jewelers in NYC. But what really turns their accessories into statement pieces is the idea behind them.

Jewelry designers Elise Shatz and Shelby Scudder created Garbage with a clear agenda to minimize overproduction and waste. And so, while the materials are of fine quality, they are also sustainable.

Every component is sourced in the United States and assembled locally in New York’s jewelry district, with none of the production taking place somewhere the two designers can’t see with their own eyes. “We intend to keep it that way regardless of how much the business grows,” they write on their website.

“I always think about how the pieces last forever and I want to make some things that are like a stamp of the times that we’re living in right now,” said Shatz in an interview with i-d Magazine. “I’m probably going to pass these down to my kids if I ever have them. And I want these designs to be sort of representative of my life.”

Oh, and their jewelry is also extremely chic. Check it out for yourself:

Akiko Shinzato’s jewelry is more conceptual than it is practical, making for delicate pieces of art that adorn the body and face. The artist, based in Okinawa, Japan, first contemplated studying fashion, before coming across contemporary jewelry and studying jewelry design at Central Saint Martins (CSM) in London.

“I think jewelry is an interesting medium because it’s worn on a body,” she explained in an interview with wertn. “In my jeweler practice, I try to explore how a piece of jewelry can interact with human body and am always looking for new functions and new ways of wearing it. It’s exciting for me to create a piece of jewelry that can highlight and celebrate a part of your body which you never thought could be a piece of jewelry.”

In one of her latest collections, tagged aptly as “Self Confidence Boosters”, Shinzato created ironic pieces of jewelry that aim to do just that. “Making this collection, I imagined what might happen if Japanese education starts pushing student’s confidence at school,” she explained.

“This collection is a little bit ironic and shows Japanese inflexible education in a way. Although it looks like boosting and helping your confidence, the piece actually limits the body movements and forces you to be in a particular position.”

“It was made for an exhibition of art teachers in Okinawa,” she added. “The theme of the exhibition was ‘school’, so I wanted to make something related to Japanese education. Japanese people are usually shy and humble. I think it’s because we have a uniform education.”

Take a look at some of her creations (ironic and otherwise) in the gallery below.

Incidentally, sustainability is equally important to her as the designs themselves. “There’s so much textile waste in the world, so I want to make the most of materials that are already out there,” she notes. According to Carlson, the main component of her products is recycled garments and scraps, making her accessories both ethical and stylish.

Philippines-based embroidery artist Ruby Thursday More turned her hobby into a career after her first child was born. “I used to work as a freelance photojournalist, but when I got pregnant, my husband and I decided that I’d stay at home for a while and take care of our daughter,” she recalled in an interview with the Etsy blog.

A creative at heart, Thursday More soon felt antsy and decided it was time to do something creative with the free time she had. “I started making an inventory of my skills and what I’d like to do, and I decided I’d really enjoy working with fabric and drawing and colors,” she notes. “I had a few threads, so I tried embroidering, and it’s cliché, but it was love at first sight.”

Embroidery, as it turns out, also runs in her genes. “Creating is in my blood,” she explained on her website. “My maternal grandmother used to make quilts and sell it to farmers during the harvest season.” Thursday More also remembers how her mother used to sew pencil cases and throw pillowcases. “I used to sit under her sewing machine, cutting away the excess threads from the things she has made.”

Nowadays, her embroidery takes the form of jewelry, with her unique necklaces featuring floral patterns that add a touch of vintage chic to any outfit. See for yourself.

Artist Oksana Trukhan from Ukraine introduces herself as a creator of a jewelry line inspired by nature. She makes pendants, rings, bracelets, and necklaces from silver, copper, and natural gemstones using only her sketches. She says that her favorite thing about creating jewelry is making people happy.

“My inspiration is around me – in the garden and woodland near my house,” Trukhan shared in a post on Bored Panda. “Long time ago I painted plants with watercolor. But over time, I wanted to recreate their beauty in sculpture. Silver is a perfect material for making leaves, berries, flowers, and twigs. And I can implement my ideas with this metal.”

According to the artist’s Etsy store, she also creates tutorials about the wire wrap art which you can find on her blog.

You can see her detailed art pieces on her Instagram store. Aren’t they beautiful? Don’t forget to follow her for future updates.

Don’t take it the wrong way, but we wish you would incorporate more garbage into your everyday look. That’s Garbage with a capital G. The fine jewelry brand with the tongue in cheek name features handcrafted pieces made with the highest quality materials by local jewelers in NYC. But what really turns their accessories into statement pieces is the idea behind them.

Jewelry designers Elise Shatz and Shelby Scudder created Garbage with a clear agenda to minimize overproduction and waste. And so, while the materials are of fine quality, they are also sustainable.

Every component is sourced in the United States and assembled locally in New York’s jewelry district, with none of the production taking place somewhere the two designers can’t see with their own eyes. “We intend to keep it that way regardless of how much the business grows,” they write on their website.

“I always think about how the pieces last forever and I want to make some things that are like a stamp of the times that we’re living in right now,” said Shatz in an interview with i-d Magazine. “I’m probably going to pass these down to my kids if I ever have them. And I want these designs to be sort of representative of my life.”

Oh, and their jewelry is also extremely chic. Check it out for yourself:

Akiko Shinzato’s jewelry is more conceptual than it is practical, making for delicate pieces of art that adorn the body and face. The artist, based in Okinawa, Japan, first contemplated studying fashion, before coming across contemporary jewelry and studying jewelry design at Central Saint Martins (CSM) in London.

“I think jewelry is an interesting medium because it’s worn on a body,” she explained in an interview with wertn. “In my jeweler practice, I try to explore how a piece of jewelry can interact with human body and am always looking for new functions and new ways of wearing it. It’s exciting for me to create a piece of jewelry that can highlight and celebrate a part of your body which you never thought could be a piece of jewelry.”

In one of her latest collections, tagged aptly as “Self Confidence Boosters”, Shinzato created ironic pieces of jewelry that aim to do just that. “Making this collection, I imagined what might happen if Japanese education starts pushing student’s confidence at school,” she explained.

“This collection is a little bit ironic and shows Japanese inflexible education in a way. Although it looks like boosting and helping your confidence, the piece actually limits the body movements and forces you to be in a particular position.”

“It was made for an exhibition of art teachers in Okinawa,” she added. “The theme of the exhibition was ‘school’, so I wanted to make something related to Japanese education. Japanese people are usually shy and humble. I think it’s because we have a uniform education.”

Take a look at some of her creations (ironic and otherwise) in the gallery below.
