Colourful scenes from whimsical tales etched into wood and brought to life. That’s how we would describe the unique, playful jewellery and accessories of Etsy store and label Laliblue.

Also featuring other magical bits and bobs including puzzle sets, illustrations and dioramas (to name just a few!), Laliblue is home to some of the most intriguing and brilliant designs you will have set your eyes upon.

Born in 2006, Laliblue is the project of two very talented, creative souls - Gemma Arnal Jericó and Cristina Arnau Tena from Spain.

With an aim to create “timeless magic” and handmade treasures, Gemma and Cristina also list classic tales, the circus, old toys, magic tricks, paper dioramas, robots, musical cinema of the sixties, ballet and candies as the inspiration behind their designs.

“In some of our pieces we use old fashioned material, specially buttons, beads and fabrics. Material forgotten for some ... but a small treasure for Laliblue,” they further explain, emphasising their love of antique and vintage items.

When designing these products to sell in their online shop, Gemma and Cristina have a specific muse in mind: woman who are still able to embrace their “inner child” with a penchant for high-quality, handmade items which instantly put a huge smile on their face.

“Laliblue wants you to enjoy a journey through time joined [by] two main ingredients: tenderness and dedication,” explains the label and it is precisely this tenderness and dedication which is so obvious in Laliblue’s unique and heart-warming products.

Upon viewing Laliblue’s gorgeous products over on their Etsy store, several things struck us instantly; the attention to detail which has gone into these expertly crafted wooden jewellery (trust us, you’ve never seen anything like it!), as well as the incredibly talented imaginations and hands of those behind the label in order to bring their whimsical illustrations and characters to life.

With over 1,700 admirers on Etsy, as well as an impressive audience of over 5,700 followers on Facebook alone, it’s safe to say that this is certainly one label set to go far.

If Laliblue’s reviews from satisfied customers are anything to go by, then it seems as though the love for this label doesn’t just end there. “It was even more beautiful in person,” one customer exclaims, while others also shout their praise: “This necklace is so beautiful! It is so detailed and you can tell that a lot of time and effort went into it. So clever and gorgeous. I will definitely buy more from this artist in the future.” (Kris)

So if you’re after a piece of art to wear around your neck or to pin to your blouse, or perhaps a whimsical illustration to admire all year round, then you’ll certainly want to make a visit to Laliblue’s online shop. When it comes to picking just one favourite from this shop, it’s a difficult task, but we’re torn between the adorable Bambi Necklace and The Red Riding Hood Necklace.
