Natural Stone Jewelry, Mount Prospect, IL
Iwona says......"Inspired, as I am, by frequent travels to warm and exotic countries, ethnic art, outdoor markets, fashion and nature I combine semi-precious stones with handcrafted sterling silver, gold vermeil, lamp work and vintage beads to create body adornments that evoke nostalgia and romantic escapism. I also incorporate carefully selected found and recycled materials into my unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. My necklaces, bracelets and earrings are distinguished by their rich colours, contrasting textures and an unpretentious sense of design. By combining handcrafted elements , each piece is intended to honor the origin of the separate components and to tell a story of adventure that is enhanced by the wearer."
