I crafted a large variety of hand wrapped wire rings with fixed and adjustable brass bands. Most are big and bold cocktail rings with a shabby chic feel. I enjoyed hand picking the large rock and glass crystals and meditating while wrapping each unique and lovely piece. I hope you enjoy them.

I spent the last couple of days creating my own jewelry displays. Why spend hundreds when you can DIY for under a $100 bucks. I have a few shows booked for the end of this year and needed to find some clever ways to display my mass trunk load of jewels in an compact, orderly and funky way. I can't wait to share pics. In the mean time here are a few new and old favorite pieces.

Plumeria Flower Heaven

noreply@blogger.com (Afua Kumasi) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 09:15:00 +0000

Gawd plumeria flowers are gorgeous. They are simple yet complex, feminine, soft, colorful, and oh so island flavorful. I have created several styles and hope you enjoy them all. The plumeria flowers are handmade of fimo clay which is a delicate process that ends with bright vivid airbrushing.

Creative Juices A Flowing

noreply@blogger.com (Afua Kumasi) — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 17:02:00 +0000

I have been busy trying new techniques, buying new tools, reading book, watching videos and grasping a lot of new concepts for my jewelry. I want to do everything but there is just not enough time in the day...probably when I don't get much sleep these days lol.

Afrochic Forehead Chain

noreply@blogger.com (Afua Kumasi) — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:16:00 +0000

I love to think up unusual Afrochic accessories or put a spin on something old and traditional. Forehead adorning is an old art but I brought a little urban African flavor to mix it up.

They are stretch to fit and very comfy on the head. Wear them high or low on the forehead for your own swag. I added some chain dangles on the side for a little unique jazz. Feathers will be coming soon.

I hope you love them as much as I do:)
