Couture Wedding Jewelry Sparks Bridal Fantasy

 

The creative force behind Mandalina Jewelry in Portland, OR grew up in Alaska. Her mother was a portrait painter, and their small community had a high concentration of artists; she took the art plunge at age 14, painting miniature totem poles as souvenirs. Flash forward to the present, where she pursues her one-of-a-kind bespoke jewelry business, with a heavy emphasis on bridal couture pieces. Some of her work is featured in this video from Black Label Films, a Portland boutique cinematographer specializing in wedding films. I love the video's portrayal of a bridal forest fantasy, reminding us of Twilight and Lord of the Rings themes.

 


As lead curriculum developer for Sheffield School, I'm eager to discover and report new trends in themed jewelry, particularly as it pertains to weddings. If you'd like to know more about jewelry design, I encourage you to explore the Sheffield SchoolNew York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planningand Jewelry DesignWith thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.
