About
Welcome to Annuk Creations!
Colorful handmade Art Jewelry and Wearable Art. Fusion jewelry inspired by nature, by the light and color of the Mediterranean,
by the magical world of the Greek Islands of the Aegean, and by my enchanted mountains.
My work, my inspiration!
Annuk Creations stands for unique and one-of-a-kind. Every single piece is designed and created with lots of love by me in my little home studio in the Italian Alps – or, when I am in my beloved Aegean, on a sunny Greek island!
I would describe myself as a mixed-media and eclectic artist. My favorite materials include glass, polymer clay, metal sheets and wood, but as I love experimenting the possibilities are endless!
I love the idea that virtually anything can be turned into jewelry! Give me a stone, a piece of driftwood or a bottle cap and I'll turn it into a ring! I love the challenge! I always think that if I were "stranded" on a tiny island or on the peak of a mountain, with no supplies shops around and the closest to a supply store being the village hardware store, I'd just start using stones, corks, finds from nature, you name it! I know nothing will ever stop me from creating, it's a lovely feeling!
What I love most about the creative process is the modeling and combining of materials. I especially make rings and pendants, but you will find some earrings and brooches as well. All my pieces are one-of-a-kind, so no two pieces are the same!
I love traveling and much of my work reflects the memories of places I love. I also like to bring back from my trips beautiful and unique glass and ceramic beads and cabochons, and found pieces such as ceramic shards and beach pottery to incorporate in my work or use as focal pieces.
My main sources of inspiration are my beloved forests and mountains, as well as the LIGHT and COLOR of the Aegean Islands and Sea, as I'm often traveling there and love the blues, whites and greens of the islands, the glorious blue skies and sea.
I passionately love COLOR, and my latest production has focused on the use of different paints and mediums... so the pieces are truly "art to wear"! My work is a constant research and neverending adventure, and I hope you will enjoy the wearable art as much as I enjoy creating it!
"Anna from Annuk Creations is a mixed media jewelry designer who creates Mediterranean wearable art in her home in the Alps. She is greatly inspired by her travels, especially to Greece and the Aegean sea, the gold, blue and white colors of which dominate in her designs. Looking at her creations you will undoubtedly smell the summer, the sea and the sun, feel the warmth of the white rocks on the beach and the sand between your toes".
