Eggcentricity Jewels
Ewanna is an American-Greek that has returned to her roots with her family and now live in Patras on the western coast of the Peloponnese island of Greece, the land where ancient myth and mystery and history are still alive. As for crafting, there is basically nothing that she can't make or do if it involves using your hands and a generous dose of creativity. But her passion is seeing a pile of gemstones and wire and silver findings become beautiful pieces of wearable art. Using only genuine gemstones in both bead and free set form, she also uses a ton of genuine natural and dyed pearls. SHE LOVE PEARLS in any form and color! Mostly using sterling silver wire for her work but due to the popularity of copper and brass this year, she is now using a bit of those also. She sometimes will wrap and use glass work from some of the finest lampwork glass makers around in her jewelry. In trying to keep things looking natural, she uses odd cuts and imperfect stones.

Obsisian Teardrop BIWA Freshwater Pearls

You have to read the story that goes along with
these earrings.
She sells her items on three main sites: eBay, Bonanzle, and Artfire. She also has a few items on Etsy, and will be listing on Dawanda, shortly. She will be opening her own web site by summer.
