OHM Beads has a wonderful program whereby they partner with artists to create unique designs. It's called OHMistry and it is always exciting to see the final step of the process and watch a piece of artwork develop into a fantastic bead!
I am so thrilled to be able to share this preview of STAY GROUNDED, the incredible art of Elina Lukas (@eliinake on Instagram) brought to life in sterling silver. This piece is a statement bead, a very large showstopper that looks impressive on a bracelet and as a pendant. It rests flat on the wrist to show off every petal of the lotus flower. There is so much detail in this exquisite design; a beautiful blossom with a centre of stars and a heart, oxidized touches throughout, and an inspirational reminder message underneath: STAY GROUNDED.
The meaning behind STAY GROUNDED is just as lovely as the bead itself, shared in the words of Elina in her description:
"As you get older, you start rushing through life. You forget to stop and take in the beauty around you, dismissing it as an ordinary occurrence. You rush to meet deadlines, to keep up with your plans, to hit the next goal, to get to that sweet Goldilocks spot where you can finally relax. You rush to live life until it becomes too much. Too overwhelming. Too self-consuming. Too anxious.
Let this bead be a reminder to stop, take a breath, and reconnect with the here and now. Let it be a reminder to stay true to who you are. To stay grounded."
This limited-edition release of STAY GROUNDED is part of Project OHMistry and is limited to 111 signed and serialized pieces. A certificate of authenticity is included with the special packaging designed by Elina.
Eliinake is a Portuguese based artist with a love for simple things. Taking inspiration from nature, space, and dreams, Elina creates illustrations that capture life's simple yet beautiful details.
