Did you ever think that dyed exotic nuts could be carved and made into psychedelic rings? Well they can! Colombian-born Dandi Maestre has made creations like this and many more with hidden treasures that surround us everywhere. Her creations include anything from cuffs, rings, necklaces, earrings and so much more. They are all crafted from organic materials, such as, antlers, bull horn, rough amber and emeralds, reclaimed wood, natural seeds and nuts.
Maestre claims that, “Each one of my art pieces is handmade from elements found on shores, in rivers, jungles and forests”.
However, you’d think that anything found in nature would probably consist of the generic earth toned colors (green, brown, white, or black). Although these colors are present in some of her jewlery she still has a wide variety of color throughout her collections. Her findings have been transformed into unique pieces of art that are both exotic and environmentally friendly.
She also adds that her, “inspiration comes from all objects of nature, water, insects, toys, religious objects, arts and crafts, music, the sea, optimism, and more”.
Her jewelry is definitely not something you see everyday...
