Emily Miranda Jewelry

Barnacles, snails, shells, rhinestones, freshwater pearls, and gilded alligator feet … It’s as if Neptune proposed to a Sea Witch on a full moon. New York artist Emily Miranda has a neoclassical flair for the decadent and macabre. With a degree in painting and another in combined media, Miranda has found her calling in sculptural jewelry which ranges from sophisticated origami-like folded metalwork to highly unique nautical creations. She also makes incredible cakes. [via Teagan Tall]
