Vancouver Update: Dancing Leaf Jewelry

Earlier this month I promised to post a few more photos of Noriko Kobune's Dancing Leaf Jewelry. Here are a few shots of her "Bouquet" Rings and Earrings.

Each piece is a stunning collection of beads and semi-precious tones and vintage buttons. They have such a vibrance and sweet delicacy. The added bonus is that they are supremely durable. I have had my Bouquet Ring for over a year and it's has been dragged in and out of pockets and purses and has been washed (as I forget to take it off) over and over again, and the ring is beautiful as ever. Strength and beauty is a lovely combo.

Here are a few of the rings we have in the shop at present.

And earrings.

She also makes gorgeous lace pieces (as mentioned in my previous blog post), below are two white lace bracelets. We carry her lace earrings and necklaces as well. As Noriko is constantly bringing in new creations, I'm certain that I will be posting more photos of her work soon.

Vancouver Update: Dancing Leaf Jewelry

Hi! I'm over in Victoria soaking up all things new at the studio - fun times!

My blog post today was going to be multiple shots of the Dancing Leaf jewelry we carry at the Vancouver and Victoria shops. I was hoping to take some photos of the jewelry here in Victoria, but Trish and I were really busy with chop saws and airguns - there's exciting things going on over here.

So, I'm posting the only photo I have of Noriko Kobune's Dancing Leaf Jewelry that we are carrying in Vancouver. Embarrassingly it's a photo me (it feels oddly narcissistic - guess it's obvious I'm not on Facebook!). But, isn't Noriko's lace necklace beautiful? She also makes earrings and bracelets out of Japanese lace that she hand dyes (some with tea and BC wine!). As well, she is the genius behind the lovely Bouquet rings and necklaces - gorgeous creations of beads that resemble stunning floral bouquets.

I'll post more photos of the Dancing Leaf Jewelry soon!
