Weekly BEST: Gilliauna


This week I get to feature a great jewelry making duo that aren't just BEST teammates of mine but also QUEST (Queer Etsy Street Team) members!  Their presence spans two countries - from Seattle, WA to Vancouver, BC.  The sensory and emotional experience of color is a major inspiration for this pair and that comes through very apparently in their work.  They also often use vintage beads and repurposed jewelry in their creations.  You'll find extraordinarily beautiful items in the jewelry shop ranging from rosaries to eyeglass chains to lanyards to necklaces.  Check out my favorite items from their wide selection:

Handmade Charm Bracelet - Bound in Love

Bronze Floral Choker. Olive, Brick, Inlay. Handmade Artisan Jewelry

Holy Rosary Handcrafted in Blue Ceramic and Pearls 

Beaded Badge Holder Necklace - Orange Crush 

There are 15 pages of fabulous items in this shop so be sure to go and pick out your own favorites!  Also, check them out at these locations around the web:
