Design Foraging: Marzia Rossi

As a part of the purging to travel light process, over the weekend, I went through my jewelry  and decided what pieces I just had to have with me on the road.  While I have some lovely pieces– many of them vintage courtesy of my maternal grandmother who had a large collection of costume jewelry from the 1950s-80s– there’s something about most pieces that just don’t quite feel me.  A little too safe, a little too ordinary, which I hope this Artsy is not!  I would love to revamp my collection and I’ve got my covetous eye on these beauties by Italian jewelry artist Marzia Rossi!

Her work is so delicate and the organic materials and shapes are right up my alley.  And the construction details?  Just might be the best part.  Want to see more? Head over to Marzia Rossi‘s website and drool all over your keyboard.
