You find some unique elements from the sea and the land in her collection from Ylang 23.  There are maple seeds, coral branches, sea plants and flowers, all interpreted in elegant metals, pearls and semi-precious stones.

Here are a few of my favorite pieces – it was definitely a challenge to narrow it down to just a couple!

The “Calla Lily” necklace features sterling silver leaves and a delicate Calla Lily bloom made from Mother-of-Pearl:

Feather earrings are a still a popular jewelry trend, but these “Peacock Feather” earrings are a unique twist on it:

The jointed earrings have the shimmer of real feathers with the movement and glamor of chandelier earrings.  They’re finished with a single pearl drop on each earring.

Did you play with maple seed “spinners” as a child?  You can have the same fun as an adult with the “Maple Seed Cluster” earrings, made from 10kt gold:

Precious Metals & Nature-Inspired Jewelry

You’re wearing lighter clothes, showing off your arms – why not have fun with some lightweight gold bangles?  Especially when they’ve got lovely faceted semi-precious gemstones…

Urban Posh makes these bracelets from 18kt gold vermeil and accents them with faceted amethysts, citrine, London blue topaz, and emerald green hydro quartz. They’d be great paired with your favorite maxi dress, crisp white blouse or dressed up for dinner with a little black dress.

There is something so sensual about jewelry that shimmers and moves as you wear it – and with all the little paillettes, this jewelry is guaranteed to do that!

There is a triple-strand necklace, with strands of 24″, 20″ and 16″ lengths.

You can also get a four-strand bracelet, with dozens of teensy little circles.

And to top it off, matching earrings
