tuffet ring - desejo

i've just listed a new tuffet ring! this one is called desejo. the top is made with three layers. the first layer is a black & white polka dot fabric, second is a warm burgundy lace, and the top, as you can see it the white with silhouettes of flowers.

this ring has turned out to be my favorite i've listed so far. i like the spanish vintage feel to it. i should have called it flamenco. maybe another one...

below is a sneak peak at desejo's companion piece which will be listed tomorrow in my shop, they are my first attempt making fabric earrings. i am pretty content with them. i will write more about them tomorrow.

please let me know what you think!

tuffets are finished!

on saturday i received my ring findings that i ordered to complete these wonderful new rings. i am in love with them! the ring above is called dusk

i actually sold a trial version off my finger at the post office last week! i was incredibly excited and i hope they get the same response on line as they have when i've worn them out.

they are entirely hand-stitched and the ring bases, for now, are silver plated adjustable bands. i just received, yesterday, my antique brass bases but i have to make a trial pair with those first. i know brass can turn your finger green, yuk, but they are really cool. some have really interesting textures and other are just plain but beautiful.

these are the first jewelery pieces to come out of studio olilo, cross your fingers and hope that they do well.
