Sakura Cherry blossoms necklace for women Nature jewelry

Spring is finally here, and with it comes Cherry blossom, or Sakura.

In 1998, 63 sakura trees were planted in Stockholm’s King’s Garden — or Kungsträdgården — and a new Swedish tradition was born. Thousands of visitors come every year to see the blossoms fall. But it’s not the only place in the archipelagic city basking in cherry blossom. More than 10,000 trees have been planted along the streets of the city, and as I lived there for almost 20 years it was my most favorite time of the year walking along the streets of Stockholm. Those memories gave inspiration to the latest addition to my fused glass jewelry collection - Sakura Cherry blossoms necklace 🥰

Spring themed Fine Art Nature Closeup Macro Photography

The winter tightens its grip on Sweden with each day yet there is still hope… at least I hope it is :) Don’t get me wrong I love winter, snow, ice and cold but sometime a girl needs to get cheered up with some strong colors :) So I decided to decorate our living rum with a series of my spring-themed macro shots. Strong lime greens colors of nature awakening from the winter slumber should be perfect for curing any kind of gloomy mood me think :) Here they come...

The idea of making a series came from a photographer friend of mine, Irina. Check out her amazing "One Tulip story" series!


Oh and did you know that in many folklores and literatures, Green is the color of nature, fertility, life. Grass green is the most restful color. Green symbolizes self-respect and wellbeing and is the color of balance. It also means learning, growth and harmony and has become a symbol of environmentalism. Green is a safe color, if you don't know what color to use anywhere use green.
Green contains the powerful energies of nature, growth, desire to expand or increase. Balance and a sense of order are found in the color green. Change and transformation is necessary for growth, and so this ability to sustain changes is also a part of the energy of green.
