I am so impressed by this silversmith jewelry maker from Sweden, that I simply can’t stop gushing about her work.

It felt like Christmas when I received a package from Sweden with items to review from Black Daisy Designs. But let me be more specific, it felt like Christmastime when you get a gift from a rich, childless relative who goes overboard with the gifts. You know how those gifts always have a special flair, and they’re above and beyond anything your parents have done for you? That’s what this was like.

First off, the packaging that Anna-Karin of Black Daisy Designs uses is unlike anything I’ve seen from any other store or Etsy shop. It made me even more excited to open the parcel’s. Color-coordinated right down to the green ribbons, the bundles are very inspired  and creative. It reminded me of how in grade school you’d get passed notes from friends, and the notes were folded in the most amazing ways. Trying to redo the folds was always nearly impossible, but I’d still try because I loved the way it looked. The packaging is exactly in the same vein. It’s like ‘Ah, I don’t want to open it – but I do!’

The Curled Hoops in Sterling Silver I received were the medium size and shiny. You can decide on the size and whether you want them oxidized or not. What is so surprising about these is HOW light they are on your ears. I am very sensitive about my ears, and with these earrings I forget I’m even wearing them. And like I said, these are the medium one’s – you’d think I’d feel them, or some weight of them. But that’s the beauty of these earrings. They are weightless. The sterling silver is curled and handcrafted into the hoops by Anna-Karin herself so each is truly a unique piece of jewelry. Of them, Anna-Karin says, “They are THE perfect everyday earrings and one of my favorite earrings. I have a pair of each size and I wear one pair almost every day and get so many compliments for them.”

I also received a Squiggly Ring to match! The reason I was intrigued by this ring is that large rings are great, but they can make your finger feel uncomfortable and sweaty. But the Squiggly Ring lets your finger “breathe”, you know? It looks perfect on any finger, but I especially like it on the pointer finger.

Made to order, you can select the size of the ring AND size of the squiggles. Yes indeedy, the squiggle size is up to you! (Bwahaha, I like saying that. )

Something great about this ring is that you can put it on in two different ways, and then turn it as you’d like for a different view of the ring.

These whimsical items of jewelry are the perfect accompaniment to any attire. They are crafted with a caring spirit and will always garner your style a second glance. Cheerful and unique, I know I’ll get a lot of wear out of these pieces.

Anna-Karin is so lovely and spirited that talking to her is an instant mood-lifter. And she has a great jewelry blog where she talks about everything from how she gets inspired for different items (like a topographic ring) to the comical take she has on her daughter’s birthday parties.
