As we step into the colder season, I find myself drifting back to my Summer memories. 🌞 I’m so grateful to have plenty of pictures from my travels! Here are a few snapshots from Croatia. This time, we opted for a countryside stay at an Airbnb, and these gorgeous views quickly became our daily treat. Oh, how I miss that vibe. 🌳🏡 

Originally, I took these photos as product shots for my brand, ViolkaBeads, but looking at them now, I can recall so much more—the heat of the day, exactly what I had for lunch, and the pure joy of being surrounded by cows, chickens, and lush, green scenery. 🐔 Taking photos of my jewelry brings me so much happiness. I love the chance to model and showcase pieces that I’ve designed and crafted myself; it’s incredibly rewarding to be the face of my own brand. There’s something so fulfilling about capturing the unique details of each piece and seeing my vision come to life in the photos. Changing up the scenery is also so important for creativity. Exploring new places and immersing myself in different settings always gives me fresh ideas and new perspectives. When I come back home, I feel recharged and inspired, ready to dive into new designs with a renewed sense of creativity. ✨

This unique handmade beaded necklace was crafted with freshwater pearls. I envisioned a blend of warm amber tones with pearls and decided to bring it to life in a double-layered design. The necklace features agate beads, seashell beads, unique Czech glass, and vintage components for a truly one-of-a-kind look.
