Striking Contemporary Paper Earrings by Filigratti
Introducing those who enjoy creating with paper is something I love to do and when that paper artist happens to make quilled jewelry, well, my attention is definitely attracted. Niharika of Bengaluru, India and I met via Instagram where I admired her designs. She has an Etsy shop, Filigratti , that is well-stocked with many pretty choices - 75 to be exact! The Filigratti shop motto is Don't just wear earrings, wear a work of art. Very true... life is short. Why not wear something beautiful every day? As Niharika says, "Quilled jewelry has a unique charm. The concentric layers of the coils impart a look that no other jewelry can emulate." All of her earrings are as light as a feather, yet durable. The fact that she often uses gilded edge paper means that many pairs have a realistic metallic shine. You'll find both dangle and post styles, and some are enhanced with small pearls. There is the choice of stainless steel or sterling silver findings. Nihar
