Stunning Glass Bottle Encapsulated Rose Pendants

Romanian artist “Julia” and owner of Resity creates unique and colorful resin jewelry, composed from real plants and rosebuds that were formulated to never wither. Carefully crafted, each piece resembles a romantic and vintage token from a fairytale novel. Constructed from real dried roses, clear resin, antiqued brass chains, and silver plated chains, each pendant expresses a variety of message, according to the meaning of each flower and its color. 

In the hopes of making jewelry making her full-time job, “Julia’s” dream is supported by her loving family and art studies. 

The daily creations simulate the elegance and beauty of Victorian memorabilia. Since no plant or manual process is alike, each pendant is a unique piece of art. The presence of the encapsulated flowers in glass bottles resemble the human concept of memory. They are sacred keepsakes with profound meanings. You can find other creations, including, resin ring and bangles in her Etsy shop.

Translucent polymer clay

This stuff is seriously awesome! I’d never really tried it before, but it’s great for making jewellery.


These were made randomly mucking around. I got some seed beads, stuck them in the clay, baked them and that was that. It looks better in real life than it does in the photos, but I love it and I’m going to make loads more.


A mixture of violet (one of my favourite colours), pearl powder and tranlucent. I love these, and may well keep them.

Some more bits and pieces

More jewellery. Not the most recent stuff, just some fun!

black
Made from black polymer clay, leaf metal and glitter, and some metallic beads.

This butterfly came off a necklace my nan gave me (she gave it to me to take apart, don’t worry). Those other beads are semi-precious stones.

The original necklace! I love that butterfly.

These earrings were my first simple wire-wrapping project. They’re very simple, but I like them. :)

Some jewellery!

You know, it’s time I used this LJ to talk about another big hobby of mine, jewellery making! I’ve been doing it for about a year now. IT IS SO AWESOME.
Especially working with polymer clay. I make my own beads from polymer clay, string them together, and it sounds boring but it is awesomely fun.

This is one of my favourite necklaces. I sold it a few days ago and now I think I should make another one, because I loved the colours. That sparkly stuff is glitter and leaf metal. I love leaf metal, it makes things SHINY.


These earrings are made with one of my favourite colours (sapphire) and the metal bits were nicked from an old bracelet I bought. (I love to upcycle.)


My other favourite colour, violet. That’s more leaf metal and glitter to make it really really sparkly. I love this one to bits. A part of me wants to keep it, but it’s on my folksy store. So perhaps not.


I made some beads, they went horribly wrong, but eventually I managed to get them nice. Aren’t they nice? Essentially I just smeared the clay about until it turned into a non-murky colour.

book-gold
More of the sapphire. But those gold ones were made with gold powder, which is BRILLIANT stuff. It makes everything so…shiny.
