RISSA FRILLER'S FAVORITE FINESMITH SET

It's almost impossible for me to choose a favorite, but I will say that right now, the pieces I absolutely love and wear very often are from the NOIR collection. The different choices of necklaces and earrings, the amazing design, the accessories such as the wand and umbrella make this collection so versatile. Plus, black goes with just about anything!

PAULINHA LEFEVRE'S FAVOURITES

It is very hard to me to select a single piece from Finesmith as my favourite. I like them all, and I am always expecting the next one to come.

Yula is a very talented person, with a very good sense of art. I see the jewels as pieces of art—sculptures made with careful and exquisite taste. There's a lot of jewelery creators, and belive my words, it's very hard to be original in this matter, but Finesmith always sets the bar at such a high level, and never disappoints on the quality and design.

Finesmith is synonymous for boldeness, elegance and style. Each jewel is presented in a very planned production, models and photographers are cordinated by Rissa and blackLiquid under the eye of Yula, bringing to the customers and fans a unique fashion taste of things well made,

Store always has live models, who, more than just showing off the pieces, are a true help and offer advice for those in need of a little help. Xenobia is also often around to help with further information and help everyone to be happy for becoming the owners of a fine jewel.

Last, but not least, Yula Finesmith is a very approachable person, always listening and open to suggestions, in a very humble way—a true creator and fascisnating personalty.

WICCA MERLIN'S FAVOURITE FINESMITH JEWELRY

As I was asked to take a picture of my favourite Finesmith Jewelry pieces, I did not think not too long and said, "Yes sure, gimme a few minutes"...

...but then I was going over and over my Finesmith pieces and found out ... it is harder than I thought to find my "favourite," because if I added all the ones I call my favourites, one picture would not be enough ;)

So I was thinking, to which piece I have the most personal relationship...

It was a huge honor for me to be chosen as one of the Finesmith Muse 2011. All of the finalists got a signature Inspiration set that carries our name. Yula put in so much time, effort and love in each piece she created. She tried to make for each of us a very personal set that mirrors our style and personality. For that she took time for each of us for talking to know us better and find out more about each finalist.

To honor all that she did and because she caught me so well in the "Wicca" inspiration set I chose to wear it as my personal favourite.

Thank you, Yula, and the whole Finsmith Family, for a place in Second Life that I really can call home and family :)

*hugs*

OLYVIA'S FAVORITE SET

I fell in love with the Noir set at first sight. The pieces push the avante garde envelope, but they are still elegant enough to wear with the girliest ballgown. I'm a huge fan of the Goth Lolita look and this set is perfect for that, especially with that awesome parasol adding just the right styling touch! Thanks so much, Yula!

RUSALKA CALLISTO'S FAVORITE FS JEWELRYSince I literally have hundreds of Finesmith jewelry pieces in my inventory, choosing just one favorite item is

Since I literally have hundreds of Finesmith jewelry pieces in my inventory, choosing just one favorite item is nearly impossible. However, there are some of Yula's fabulous sets that I do find myself using over and over in various stylings of all sorts and two of them happened to be combined in this one photo—the Fearless Blossom set and the BlackBarbie Inspiration set. I love the Fearless Blossom set because of its extremely unique design, especially the earrings. The BlackBarbie set is also a personal favorite because it can be resized and recolored in so many different ways to go with so many different styles of outfits. Of course, if it is a Finesmith design, it is just probabLy going to be a favorite no matter what!

AISLING CAIBEN'S FAVORITE FINESMITH JEWELS

Choosing my favorite Finesmith Jewels was not an easy task! There are so many that I absolutely love, and absolutely none that I hate. But after a lot of thought (and trying on many of my Finesmith jewels) I decided that the gorgeous "Diconay" set is at the top of my "fave" list - for now anyway! I love this set because I can wear it with a gown for an Earthy touch, or with jeans and a tanktop for a classy touch. The texture change options are just the icing on the cake, making this the perfect set of jewels for nearly any color palette. It really should be a staple in any woman's jewelry box.

Taylor's Favorite Finesmith Pieces

I have two favorite pieces, one being the FineSmith nameless face pices. I think the reason I like it so much is that is unique and different. I dont think I have ever seen a piece like it in the grid. Plus, I am a sucker for the unique pieces of jewelry. So this nameless pices is perfect.

The other pieces I love are the Lua Nails. For one, i like that they are color changable, that makes me extra happy so I can mix and match gems and nail color to get that right look to go with whatever I'm wearing. Plus, it has wings on a couple of the rings to give it that extra flair.

Xenobia's Go-to Jewels

Yula has gone home to visit her family in real, so I'd like to take this opportunity to show you my favorite Finesmith jewelry—the ones I put on more often than any other for some reason. I just like them and they are so versatile. I'm wearing the Noga Earrings, Necklace and Earrings in citrine. They are available in other colors, but citrine is my birthstone and I love it, so I wear it whenever possible. I love the other colors too and wear them when citrine just doesn't work.

MISS COSTA RICA SIMS NATURAL BALANCE JEWELRY COLLECTION

Here it is, the 2012 official jewelry of the Miss Costa Rica Sims, commissioned by the owner of Costa Rica Sim, Giancarlo Takacs.

Yula and Giancarlo worked on the idea together. Each color represents an element—red for the fire of the lava from volcanos; green for forests and jungles; and blue for water.

All of the structure is organic and relates to nature shapes—directly influenced by the butterfly and the peacock feather. Costa Rica is blessed with thousands of species of flowers, butterflies and birds that dont exist anywhere else.

Costa Rica has the largest open nature in the world that is protected and undeveloped. They have a wide variety of weather and different kinds of land (jungle, sea, fresh water, mountains) that allow all this to exist.

Yula says she thinks the inspiration for the jewelry is more interesting than the jewelry itself. I find what inspires her to be fascinating, but not more interesting than her jewelry.
