What if you spent every day looking for One Beautiful Thing?

Elvish Couture

Irina Dultseva/ManikID

Russian metal artist Irina Dultseva creates wearable fantasy-inspired pieces in brass and silver. The artist makes a thrilling selection of ear cuffs and other jewelry, as well as diadems and hair accessories. She even has a line of fanciful metal bow ties and collar tips, and all her works are surprisingly affordable. Though the pieces feel to me more like fine jewelry than like costume, they are nonetheless inspiring me to do an Elvish theme for next year’s Halloween group look…

Dultseva has a definite feel for the worlds of Lord of the Rings and other fantasy realms. She takes her themes of strength, wisdom, and rebirth both from literature and from ancient legends. All that history and fantasy combines to make her pieces feel positive and powerful and important. And honestly, I don’t think I’ve seen better metalwork, regardless of price. I’ll be bookmarking her shop and revisiting it again and again!

You can see more of Irina Dultseva’s beautiful work in her Etsy shop and on Instagram.

🤗 В итоге, вот что у нас получилось: огромные ажурные веера из латуни, с вставками из стеклянных бусин. А в затылочной части расположен блок со светодиодами, коробочку для которого мы сами проектировали и печатали на 3Дпринтере… Как это все работает… 👉🏻 #диадема #корона #веер #латунь #блеск #хендмейд #ручнаяработа #ювелирнаяработа #ювелирка #3дпечать #studio_manikid #manikid #jewelry #jewelrywork #diadem #crown #handmade #fan #fantasy #brass

To the question "The most elf film?", What will you answer? The Lord of the Rings of course)) In my opinion, even the main characters – the Hobbits – do not interfere with being elven. In the Lord of the Rings a lot of inspiration, and this decoration was made to order, based on the Arwen brooches. На вопрос "Самый эльфийскийфильм?", что вы ответите? Властелин колец конечно)) На мой взгляд, быть эльфийским, ему не мешают даже главные герои – Хоббиты. Во Властелине колец очень много вдохновения, и это украшение было сделано на заказ, по мотивам броши Арвен. #studio_manikid #jewelry #handmade #design #wedding #weddingjewelry #butterfly #fantasy #elven #elf #lordoftherings #Arwen

Yes, this ear cuff is completely incomprehensible without a model. And although he is a bit more bold to me, I decided to show you how he looks. The lower part would have to hug the ear more tightly. But, I hope that the customer is fine. Да, этот кафф совершенно непонятен без модели.И хотя мне он немного большеват, я решила показаться вам, как он смотрится. Нижняя часть должна была бы более плотно обхватывать ухо. Но, я надеюсь, что у заказчика все отлично. #earrings #earcuffs #jewellery #design #studio_manikid #art #fantasy #elven #handmade #jewelry

    The design and artistry is perfect. I don’t have holes in my ears so maybe ear cuffs is the answer.

    This is really special art, Donna 😀
    She is very talented, maybe she should present her stuff for some movie makers.

    It is highly appropriate that I am reading this blog post right now as my kids are currently undertaking a marathon of Lord of the Rings movies. They started with the Hobbit trilogy around 7am this morning and they won’t be done with the LOTR trilogy until tomorrow morning.

    Her work is amazing! I do love her ear cuffs, especially the spring and autumn themes.
