I first heard of the wonderful etsy shop lilyja when the owner Lily kindly selected one of my ACEOs for this lovely treasury.
I was struck by the clean open look of the treasury. (I was not the only one as this fine treasury was selected for the Etsy Front Page ). I decided to check out her etsy shop & blog which share the same refreshing vibe.
Throughout the wonderful world of lilyja you will find breathtaking jewelry, much of it crocheted from silver, gold, or copper wire. Click on any photo for more details.
I am simply stunned by the delicate beauty of these pieces.
Some incorporate gems or beads, like this 14 k gold filled & pearl ring
Once In A Lifetime crochet pearl/14k gold filled ring from lilyjaWhile others are so ornate, they feel almost ceremonial.

At first glance so simple, a closer inspection reveals the loops & turns of the delicate colored copper wire. The post is sterling silver. Each ball is approximately 10mm round.
