frucci designs has a unique approach to jewelry design – crafting necklaces, rings and pendants from woven paper. the italian 
designer wows us with pieces like ‘cristina’, a modular necklace made up of six bracelets that can be connected many different ways. you can read about the necklace and see the possibilities here.
equally innovative is this ‘be the protagonist’ pendant, created by 
weaving photographic images into a 64 tile wearable work of art. send her a photo and she’ll set you on your way to ‘be the protagonist’ she’s young, she’s hip and she’s found a way to make an ordinary material extraordinary.
while you are traipsing around her etsy shop, don’t miss ‘tramonto rosso: where red blends into white’. this simple paper pendant is skinner blend-worthy.
frucci uses a moisture resistant sealant to protect the beads from rain and skin moisture, but notes that they are not waterproof. the design is contemporary and the strong bead shape belies the fragility of the material. bellisimo!
