Let’s Talk About Jewelry

Everybody needs to talk about jewelry. Girls, because they love to wear it and boys, because they have to buy that for their girls. Jewelry can be expensive, or not. It can be original, or not. But one thing is non negotiable: it is always necessary to have it in a great amounts. Of course, I am speaking from the female point of view so take my words seriously.

For me, jewelry always had to fulfill one standard: to be exactly the piece that I need at the moment, so I had to make it by myself. Being very passionate about recycling, I made my jewelry from used plastic bottles and all sorts of containers, because that material is not hard to process. Here, I’ll show you some examples that may give you more ideas for making your own jewelry.

  1. I wear a watch and earrings. I have pierced ears and like to buy earrings. I have found places that they are not expensive. Once in a while I would splurge and get myself an expensive pair.

  9. I really admire your creativity, Zaklina. I also believe you have shared and inspired others directly to develop this kind of creativity. All your work is very cool in my eyes, whether in the eyes of those who glorify luxury only. Hehe…
