I absolutely love how she showcases her designs. Jewelry, bracelets and necklaces are all beautifully displayed and photographed on different plants and flowers. Her jewelry is just as creative as her displays and photographs. Fun to browse through her photos even if you aren’t in the market for any jewelry.
