Carolyn Tillie - Just Desserts Jewelry

My most exciting find at the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival this past weekend in San Francisco was artist Carolyn Tillie.  Carolyn is an absolutely charming lady who specializes in miniature food jewelry. Her three major lines include Bento Box, Farmers Market and my personal favorite, Just Desserts. Just Desserts includes gorgeous pieces inspired by dainty cupcakes, macarons, tartlets and more.

From the artist:
"My inspiration stems from over 10 years in the food and wine industry combined with my artistic expression in fashioning wearable art. These fashionable designs are a whimsical combination of gashapon, Japanese toys, which are quality products, constructed from high-grade PVC plastic, or dollhouse miniatures constructed from polymer clay. Gashapon are mounted and featured against substantial settings of elegant 14k gold and sterling silver. Each creation is an eye-catching conversation piece of playful sophistication that captures the attention of all who see them.

With today’s interest in cooking and food, I provide a lighthearted and playful way for the wearer to express epicurean desires in an unexpected and imaginative way. My passion is to share my love of food and art through the creation of fashionably fun jewelry."

Carolyn's pieces of wearable art were absolutely charming - even the tiniest details were not overlooked! Her large selection of rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets would make the perfect gift for the cupcake fan who has everything.
