Pearls are a stunning natural resources for jewelry that are both timeless and true. I’ve seen pearls in many shapes and forms, in necklaces, bracelets and more… but I’ve never seen them like this!
Bliss Designs has a whole different and unique way of displaying pearls! Beautiful freshwater pearls are displayed inside recycled copper plumbing pipe-turned-pendants filled with resin… so unique right?
I was lucky enough to experience this handmade jewelry myself! I have been wearing the Monaco Blue Collection – small copper earrings from Bliss Designs!
These earrings are as unique as they look in the pictures! I’ve never seen anything like them! They are handcrafted, so there is potential of slight variation between each piece. Each earring has a stunning blue pearl in the resin which lays inside the cooper pipe circles.
The circle is 5/8 inches of copper pipe (upcycling) which goes through an intensive process of cleaning, darkening and filling. If you are interested in the dirty details of how the Bliss pendants are made (think scraps from a kitchen remodel of Anne Bliss’ 1896 home!) then you must check out the "See how Bliss Cu pendants are made" page at Bliss Deigns website. It is so interesting!
After the copper is ready, it is filled with resin and freshwater pearls, or in the case of my small earrings, just a single pearl.
The earring back is secured to the ear by a strong sterling silver lever back (which has been darkened to match the copper). The earrings aren’t as heavy as they look, are so incredibly unique and come presented nicely with a soft black velvet pouch.
The Monaco Blue Collection has earrings (small or large) and pedants (small, medium and large) which can be made into necklaces or bracelets. Besides the Monaco Blue Collection, Bliss also has a number of other collections – green, white, red, multiple colored, etc. I love that you can buy a single piece and then have the opportunity to purchase matching pieces in the collection as well.
Anne Bliss, the maker of this creative jewelry has a passion for beading. She pours her heart and soul into the jewelry and in the jewelry making process. She is kind hearted business women who has given incredible amounts on money back to the community and those in need by donating a portion her sales. She has been creating classy freshwater pearl designs in her hometown of Buffalo, New York for 10 years now.
Great mothers day gift and more! If your loved one has a passion for pearls, but cannot possibly have more… think again! I bet they don’t have anything like this!
