Lalo Orna, Made in Bulgaria ... Lalo Orna is worth your time to get to know! I personally endorse her line of unique pieces as every piece is a wearable work of art.  Oh my goodness, picking up one of her beautiful keychains -- you just don't want to put it down.  In the words of one of my customers, who purchased the Funky Green Bird Keychain, "I just got this and it's beautiful. I almost hate to put keys on it. I want to make it into a brooch or something!!! It's quite unique."  And, those were her exact words.  I've heard similar remarks from my other customers ... and my lucky mother has gotten her brooches.

When Lalo Orna first created her pieces, she was thinking about the customer, wanting to create a colorful creation that would put a smile on that customer's face.  Well, I can say she succeeded on that score. She uses man-made materials to create "the illusion of a natural organic material."  She is a master at "the use of color, translucency, opacity, and design" in that her pieces would make excellent suncatchers.  Her creations make me smile that even my husband LOVES them. Her artistic jewelry and accessories are so beautiful and imaginative, it is not easy to pick a favorite.

Lalo Orna is one of Israel's most unique and imaginative artists.  She's been designing and producing resin jewelry and accessories for over two decades.  She is a fashion designer and graduate of Shenkar College for Fashion and Textile. Her unique look and imaginative eye have brought her a considerable amount of worldwide attention from leading fashion designers for custom runway work.  Here are some of the beautiful Lalo Orna handcrafted items you can find in my eCrater store.
