'Neon Ray': A Photoshoot by Nancy Tran for Rico Designs

Photographer: Nancy Tran 

Jewellery Designer: Rico Designs
Makeup & Hair: Dina Fujimoto
Model: Aisha Jefcoate

We love handmade items, and that is why this beautiful and Summery shoot by Nancy Tran has really got us inspired. Not only does it encompass the carefree spirit of an Australian Summer, but each piece featured in this shoot has been handmade by the very talented Richelle from Rico Designs.

Photographer Nancy Tran captured these wonderful images to showcase the new 'Neon Rays' jewellery collection by Rico Designs. The jewellery label also sheds some more light on the story behind this shoot, explaining: "Born from lazy sun drenched days in search for that endless summer of surf and sun. Rico Designs 2013/14 Summer Collection, Neon Rays, is inspired from the designer Richelle's love for all things beach and colour. The collection grew out of a free-spirited lifestyle. The sand between your toes, the cool spray from the ocean on your skin, the waves, sunshine, smiles, bleached out salty hair and palm trees everywhere."

Rico Designs also states: "Each piece from the Rico Designs Neon Rays Collection is intricately handmade in Australia by Richelle. These high quality treasures feature neon pops of colour combined with crystals, and sterling silver. The bohemian / beach brand evokes a carefree spirit for the beach bum at heart, the traveller, the women who is a free thinker and an individual who is true to herself. Follow your heart to be wild and carefree, in search of your endless summer."
