FriedaSophie

FriedaSophie is a jewelry designer based in San Francisco, California. Her handcrafted organic modern nature-based mineral stone jewelry in unusual colors sets her products apart from the masses. FriedaSophie says that she is passionate about designing & she feels that her jewelry adds a new fresh & modern style to the world of accessories. Using carefully selected gemstones in combination with sterling silver & 14k gold, each piece makes a bold statement. The Green Chrysoprase Triangle Necklace (pictured) is a perfect example of this.

Each piece is so gorgeous & feminine, making it hard to narrow down which ones to feature here. I love turquoise, especially for Spring & Summer, and the Rectangle Turquoise Earrings (pictured) are exceptional, as is the 14k gold Turquoise Rondelle Necklace. If I had to choose an absolute favorite, I believe I would choose the Onyx Ametyst Cluster Earrings because the color combination & shape are so wonderful.

Galit Barak Jewelry Design

Galit Barak is a young, masterful jewelry designer living in Israel. Galit crochets sterling silver and 14 karat gold-filled wires, combined with semi-precious stones, vintage glass and pearls. The results are stunning. The Batch necklace features 14 karat gold-filled wire that has been hand crocheted into a circle, than weaved with small turquoise chips. I love the crocheted Gathe-ring that was made using small freshwater pearls. Other eye-catching pieces include the Deep Red Teardrop necklaces and the Mother Of Pearl necklace made of oxidized sterling silver wire. Get a behind-the-scenes view on Galit's blog.

Friedasophie Jewelry Design is a great source for beautiful, hand-crafted 14k gold gemstone jewelry. All of these designs, such as the gold Cherry Blossom necklace, are hip & stylish. I love the Sun Star earrings featuring lemon yellow chalcedony gemstones. My favorite thing about this shop is that the designs are stunning, yet affordable. The gold chandelier earrings look like a million bucks, but have a small price tag. The Mystic flower earrings are in the same category of affordable, yet gorgeous!
