Stunning Brooch Statement Necklaces by SolBijou Posted: 04 Sep 2012 04:00 AM PDT Fellow Canadian Maricel Tewari is a mixed media artisan with a wonderful store called SolBijou on Etsy. She makes a wide range of bridal accessories. What caught my eye were her stunning brooch statement necklaces.  You don't have to be getting married to wear one of these beauties! The satin ribbon flowers are hand made.  Some of the rhinestone brooches are vintage too.  She also combines her wire working skills into some of her designs. Maricel is inspirational on more than one level. She said, "My love of jewelry began when I was a child and through the years this love turned into a burning desire to create unique jewelry and accessories for beautiful women around the world. In 1996 I began crafting unique pieces for friends and family. The demand for my creations was so great that, in 2008, this hobby turned into my occupation."   It's no wonder her work is so sought after. She also makes gorgeous sashes, brooch bouquets, ring pillows, guestbooks, hair accessories and bridal slippers and clutches. A truly remarkable range.
