Jewelry Fit For A Queen
My dear friend Judy introduced me to Bay-area Jewelry designer Carla Labat, and I am hooked! Carla's inspiring 'Large-Scale' jewelry would surely appeal to Marie Antoinettes sensibilities! Made from vintage fabrics, trims, buckles, and appliqués found in Paris Flea Markets, her jewelry is reminiscent of 18th century theatre costuming with a modern twist. Surely one doesn't have to be a 'Queen' to wear such treasures... Time to raid my trim drawers!!!








I love this back peice,it's not something that would go looking for but a pleasant surprise from a use of material that I wouldn't usually use in my own work, just might try now though.
truelly inspirational.
well done and thank-you

I must say, you find the most incredible and unusual things. This jewelry is beautiful, sensual, fantastical...really different than anything I've seen. I visit your blog when I want to be awed and inspired.

Carla's work is so bold and it's filled with mystique. I went to her site. It's great.
Thanks for the tip.
