Our newest new member ~ Laura from Jewels by L Designs



We hearted one of Laura's pieces here recently on the blog... so you can imagine how thrilled we are to  welcome her this week as a full fledged member of the Etsy Best Kept Secrets team!

Her shop, Jewels by L Designs, will give you a better sense of her range as designer. Central to her work are wonderful glass works in brilliant colors and intricate layers which she and her husband Aaron create themselves in the flame. The glass elements are then incorporated into wire wrapped pieces with complementary gemstones.



Laura sometimes works her glass into animal shapes to produce large and striking pendants....



The Crème de La Crème necklace

...and more recently she has explored grays and black as well - very unusual for glass but so hip and elegant....Fashionistas, pay attention!;)




Just like the person behind the work, Laura's jewelry collections are pure joy and happy vibes! She not only creates glass, she also collects the prettiest Murano and Yayin beads which she now shares through her newest line: the BonBon necklaces, which debuted this Fall.
