More Than Great Bone Structure: Model Guinevere Creates Beautiful Jewelry

Model Guinevere van Seenus is the new face of Miu Miu, but she is also an amazing jeweler.

The 34-year-old runway sensation has been designing stunning pieces from semi-precious stones and silver wire. The name of her company is called, 'Jacoba by Guinevere Van Seenus.' She has a new website underway here--JacobaCollection. Take a look at the gorgeous glove-bracelet that resembles delicate lace.

We don't have a price tag on her finely wrought designs, but we are blown away by the sheer intricacy of her work. The bracelets and necklaces appear to be knitted together. And it's not unusual for a single piece to take some 25 hours to finish.

The model told Vogue magazine this:

"I always liked doing something with my hands. I love the idea of the 'finer' things in life--meticulous pieces that have quality, heart, and spirit."

Guinevere takes her jewelry-making tools on the road with her---on airplanes, at home while she watches TV, and even backstage between runway shows and photo shoots. She's armed with her beads, wires, and four kinds of pliers at all times, according to the magazine.

"I never wanted what everyone else has," Guinevere van Seenus says. And we think her individuality sets her apart.

Keep your eyes on this creative model. It's just a matter of time before her unique knitted-like jewelry goes mainstream.
