Etsy Featured Artist - Elektra Jewelry Design

Dina Cuomo, from Golden Bridges, New York, fell in love with 18kt and 24kt gold on a trip she took to Greece when she was 15. Her favorite materials to work with are gold vermeil, Bali sterling silver,semi-precious stones and vintage glass beads. She has also begun to use lampwork beads and Venetian Murano glass, which is becoming favorite materials for her. Her use of high-quality materials results in a high-quality product, no two of which are alike.

"Temple of the Stars Necklace Set" is made with top grade genuine labradorite stones, swarovski crystals and a beautiful sterling silver clasp.
"Lovely Lariat" is a fun and fashionable piece that, because of its length of 43", can be worn a myriad of ways. Made from fire polished czech beads that sparkle like black diamonds, tiny pale pink and lavender crystal beads and vintage swarovski. Two gorgeous swarovski crystal fuschia leaves hang from the ends. Lovely indeed!
"Amethystus" is the greek word that amethyst comes from, and it means "not intoxicated" because of the belief that this semi-precious stone would keep you safe from the intoxicating effects of alcohol. I'm not so sure it really works, but one glance at this stunning bracelet may have an intoxicating effect on you with its sheer beauty. Made with faceted amethyst beads and vintage glass, finished with a sterling toggle.
