It is rare to come across a talent like Ukrainian wire artist, Lyudmila Kuryakova. Her Deviantart gallery showcases her incredible work. She also sells some of her designs on her Etsy store, KL Designer Jewelry.  Her amazing wire wrapped work is intricate and flowing  - reminiscent of the Art Nouveau period.  It was incredibly hard to pick just a few of her designs for this feature.


She works with silver, brass and copper, often with a range of patina colors. Her focals include gemstones as well as porcelain.  A few of her designs also include hand painted stones.


Some of her most outstanding pieces are her wire wrapped hairpins - she has several in her collection.  Also worth noting are her wire wrappped brooches - her take on this ancient style of clothes fastener.  She called them fibula but I think they are more reminiscent of penannular or Celtic brooches.

 Incredible workmanship and artistic creativity!
