Madrid designer Raquel Moreno began her career as a sculptor, but shortly thereafter realized that jewelry was her talent. In 2001 Moreno decided to launch her first collection, which was admired for its intricacy.  As evidenced by her jewelry, her designs are inspired by nature and floral patterns in particular.  Her collections are primarily sold in Spain and Britain, but they can also be found in the United States and Japan.  Her clients include major international labels such as Liberty, Paul & Joe, and Paul Smith.  In the near future, Moreno intends to extend her design realm to include her own array of home products.

The Red Painted Hexagon Earrings automatically begets flair of color for that wow look.  These sterling silver drop earrings encompass a hexagon base that contains red and gold enamel in a flowery abstract design. The drops are hand-made in Spain and are 1 ½” long. I admire these earrings for their boldness and glitzy appeal.  Buy through Clay Pot for $176.

Andrea Fohrman’s designs are vibrant, feminine, and modern. Fohrman launched her jewelry company in January of 2004 and captures her ideas from nature. Her collections are exceptionally unique and have been featured in major magazines such as Elle, Vogue, Bazaar, and InStyle.

In astronomy, the crescent symbol is used to represent the moon when only a thin curved section is lighted by the sun. Fohrman handcrafted this Crescent Necklace to perfectly represent a shining crescent moon. 14 champagne rose cut diamonds adorn the pendant, which is elegantly set in 18kt pink gold. The crescent measures about 1” in length and dangles from a pink gold chain. What a vivid and stylish necklace this is!  Buy through Twist for $800.
