From technical projects to more artsy projects, IDE students have it all! Creative is what they all are, and most certainly Anya. She gets inspired by colours and fashion, and she loves to combine this when making her very own jewellery. The members of S.G. Daedalus voted on Anya’s projects the most and therefore, she has the pleasure to call herself the Designer of the Month for December 2024! Read more about it her projects below!

 

“Hi! I’m Anya and one of my biggest hobbies is making jewellery. It started a few years ago during my gap year when I was looking for new hobbies. I always loved wearing jewellery, but sometimes it was hard to find the jewellery I wanted in stores, so I thought: why not make my own? I began ordering parts online—mostly in bulk—so I had extras to sell on Instagram. Now, I mainly create pieces for myself and occasionally as gifts. 

 

The best part about this hobby is that I always have jewellery to match any outfit and colour combination. Sometimes I make jewellery for a specific theme party. I also find it very relaxing, I can just put on some music or a series and craft for a bit. Plus, I get quick results; most pieces take me only about 20 minutes to make.

 

I still buy parts online, but I’ve recently started thrifting jewellery and making my own jewellery using those parts. I think that makes it even more unique, and you can find very cool and cheap stuff in thrift stores. 

 

I also love seeing what others make for inspiration, so if you make your own jewellery or if you see something cool, feel free sending it to me :))”
