Author's handmade jewelry Semiletova

Every fashionista has jewelry. Some people own sets of products from platinum with diamonds, others collect a huge collection of bijouterie, while others love designer handmade jewelry.

Today we will look at just such jewelry and get acquainted with the author - Ekaterina Semiletova ...

From early childhood I cannot imagine myself without creativity. I always spent my free time drawing, sewing, and various crafts. This is what brings real joy and pleasure.

I tried myself in various creative fields, studied to be a designer at the university, plunged headlong into art, into communication with talented original people. Creative energy is good in that it has the ability to transform, pour out into new hobbies, bestowing new skills and impressions.

And for three years now I have been creating jewelry. This is a very exciting process that offers many options and possibilities. We spent a lot of time looking for their material and style. In our age of copies, stampings, you so want something genuine, original that will not lose its value and appearance after years.

Creation of unique, unrepeatable things is, perhaps, the main concept. During this time, there was not a single piece of jewelry made by me, each one has its own character, design and, of course, a piece of soul.

After a long search for the right materials, I opted for Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones, silver and gilded accessories.

Any detail, a combination of colors, even a melody can inspire a new product. Every day I look at hundreds of photographs of jewelry of various directions, techniques, eras. For myself, I chose the embroidery technique. Each piece is embroidered by hand with Czech and Japanese beads; the inside is made of fine genuine leather.

Sometimes this happens on a whim, by improvisation, and sometimes a sketch is drawn before the creation of the decoration. This helps to put thoughts in order, understand and calculate the required amount, shape and color of materials, thereby simplifying the further process of work.

I really enjoy making jewelry for different looks and occasions, be it a casual look, an evening outfit or a bridesmaid look. There are no frames and restrictions, an uncontrollable flight of imagination, the expression of your moods and emotions.

I like to wander through the fashionable eras of the last century, take different cultures, traditional color combinations as a source of inspiration, and sometimes completely deviate from any canons, but always bring something new: your vision, your interpretation.

The modern market provides ample opportunities to collect materials from different parts of the world and combine each time into a unique form and combination, like a kaleidoscope.

I would sincerely want these jewelry to bring joy to their owners, the opportunity to change, transform depending on the mood and occasion, always feel unique and desirable.
