Wednesday Artist Spotlight & A Giveaway from CAMLA
September 1, 2010 Happy Wednesday!
Today we are thrilled to feature the lovely and talented Ame from CAMLA! CAMLA's designs are inspired by the aesthetic mix of shape, texture and colors in nature and art. The result is a stunning collection that blends contrasting styles: modern with vintage and timeless with elegant chic.
Isn't this necklace gorgeous?
When asked to describe the inspiration for her Rose Lariat Necklace, Ame wrote:
CAMLA’s designs are inspired by nature and art, in particular flowers and leaves. Roses are one of my favorite flowers. They are stunning and symbolize love and timeless beauty, all of which are embodied in CAMLA’s Rose Lariat Necklace design. I created this necklace with a beautifully carved sterling silver rose blossom that has lush shapely petals. The rose flower and a sterling silver twisted ring, embellished with a lustrous natural peach keshi pearl, dangle from either end of a sterling silver rolo chain. This necklace is also versatile; it can be fastened around the neck by either passing the rose through the ring or by tying a loose knot in the chain. What’s most authentic about this design is that it strikes a beautiful balance between simplicity and femininity with a modern aesthetic.
Ame has offered to giveaway this necklace to one of our lucky readers! Just leave a comment on this post by Monday, September 6 (it's a holiday! don't forget!) at noon EST for your chance to win.
