Di Decor Handcrafted Jewelry Review and Giveaway

Di Decor is an Etsy shop packed full of handmade works of art. From crocheted necklaces, to the beaded cuff bracelets that really caught my eye, Anna's selection kept my attention for quite awhile.

I admired her beaded cuff bracelets the most. The geometric quality to almost all of her patterns is something that I often look for in choosing my accessories. I appreciated her use of neutrals, colour blocking, as well as the inclusion of some bright pops of colour in between. I almost couldn't take my eyes off of this blue chevron pattern, or this slightly more whimsical silver and yellow cuff.

I was sent a beautiful chevron cuff bracelet for review. All the way from Poland, it arrived quickly, packaged elegantly in a little black gift box and nestled in a bed of coloured decorative stuffing. It was presented so nicely I (almost) felt bad taking it out.

I can really see and feel the patience and love that went into making this bracelet. Made using black, silver, and amber glass beads, the iridescence of the amber bead really adds that special touch. I love that when you see it from different angles, it took on a new appearance and played with your eyes. I can see this pairing well with pretty much any outfit because of the neutral colours, which is one of the reasons I chose it.

I tend to prefer a more tight fitting bracelet, but with warmer weather on its' way in, I happen to like that this one is a little bit looser. The closures are two easy, squeeze and pull type clasps, which made it really easy to get it on and off on my own. I liked that they were silver plated and complimented the overall look of the cuff, too.

All around, beading is one of those crafts I full-heartedly respect. Artisans spend hours coming up with distinct patterns, choosing just the right colour scheme and then figuring out how to put it all together. I am happy to have one of Anna's pieces as a part of my jewelry collection.

Additionally, for any of you craftier-than-I folk, if there's a pattern that especially calls out to you, download it to make on your own for less that $3.50! I'm even considering learning how to bead, just so I can make a few for friends and family. They would make great gifts!
