Etsy is indeed a jewelry lover’s paradise! Whether a relaxing browse or seriously shopping, checking out the shops of Etsy is pure fun. A fascinating array of beautiful handmade jewelry created by an incredibly talented community of jewelry designers offers up a virtual feast that awaits your hungry eyes.
I've been spending lots of time at Etsy these days and would like to share some of my favorite jewelry designer and artisan shops with you through a special series of articles dedicated to the tremendous artistic talent that awaits you at Etsy.
Maya & Ruhi Artisan Jewelry
Jewelry designer, Pearl Bhasin, has named her jewelry business after her two young daughters, Maya and Ruhi and that alone speaks volumes about this multi-talented lady. Riveting colors and a lush assortment of gemstones in surprising and sophisticated combinations dominate her exciting collection. Elegant and edgy, this collection of vibrant jewelry truly captures the essence of the artist herself. Self-described as an “old soul at heart whose inspirations include 1920s Art Nouveau, the art and poetry of the Pre-Raphaelites, Mughal paintings, baroque music, desert sunsets, Istanbouli pottery, and Marie Antoinette”, Pearl’s deep appreciation for art and beauty and a strong love for the classical, bring to her designs a look that is timeless yet edgy, a sophisticated Bohemian look that tells of elegance, discernment and intuitive charm.
This handcrafted jewelry collection is brimful of gorgeous statement pieces that possess both high style and a whimsical quality that is at once charming, disarming, and totally stunning. Maya & Ruhi Artisan Jewelry is a delightfully fresh and unique standout in the vast sea of jewelry design and a tour through 'Maya & Ruhi Artisan Jewelry' Etsy shop offers up a tantalizing treat for jewelry lovers everywhere.
Here are just a few of my favorites in the Maya & Ruhi Collection:

Turquoise, Amethyst, and Pink Agate Bracelet with Pearl Charm
The bright jewel tones remind me of the fabulous ostentatious clothes and jewelry, and the flowery prose and poems of the Mughals.
