eva is a czech living in england who makes smocked jewelry inspired by historic textiles. they are made entirely by hand using repurposed silk and her own natural dyes. the results are subtle and the colours are stunning. i love the way she takes her inspiration from nature and then uses natural techniques to achieve her designs.
her line is called tinctory (tinctor means "dyer" in latin) and can be seen and purchased here and here.
