Something about the elegance of clay roses, often displayed against filigree, ornate backdrops, gives the pieces from Katya Valera's exclusive Veranda Collection a certain Victorian look.
Clay and resin rose jewelry are actually what first attracted me to Etsy and to learn to make jewelry to begin with, when I was searching for bridal party jewelry for my wedding.
Each rose begins as polymer clay fit into a mold and then carefully popped out, baked, cooled, glazed, and glued to its chosen base over a period of a few days. Quite a process to get to these results!
Which piece do you love? :)
