The Sweet Look of Sirens
Bonnie Riconda’s jewelry design philosophy is based on her love of brilliant, bright colors, a light feeling of airiness, and of all things truly hand-created by the artist. She uses no pre-made or fabricated parts, but wraps all gemstones and beads by hand. Using the finest semi-precious gemstones, and silver or 14 karat rolled gold are used in combination to form her original designs.
These Siren 24 earrings are not only radiant in their range of spring-time hues, but the style is absolutely unique. The earrings are shaped by hand to form a spiral, and then hammered for effect and durability. The spiral ends in an ear wire.
A range of pinks and reds will truly compliment your wardrobe this spring; pink chalcedony, carnelian, and citrine adorn a 14 karat gold-filled spiral. Not a "gold-person?" No worries--Calico Juno Designs, offers each design in sterling silver or gold. Here is a picture of them being worn (by Heidi), so that you can see how amazing they will be on your ears!

After getting a BFA from York College of PA and an MFA in painting and sculpture from Long Island University in New York, Bonnie’s love of jewelry and creating things by hand determined her course in starting her business Calico Juno Designs. With no experience in jewelry design, she started experimenting with some gemstones and wire she bought in a little store in Long Island. After many trial-and-error flops, she came up with about 30 original designs. Bonnie and her husband created the website that now occupies www.CalicoJunoDesigns.com
Just over two years later, the website now features over 350 designs and Calico Juno Designs is now carried by several retailers in Manhattan, including Gallery Vercon, Azaleas, Calypso, La Petite Coquette, and Verve, not to mention many others across the country. Magazine features include MARIE CLAIRE, SHOP, SEVENTEEN, GLAMOUR, INSTYLE, LUCKY, MODERN BRIDE, THE KNOT, YM, FIRST, BRIDAL GUIDE, JEZEBEL, COSMOGIRL, FAMILY CIRCLE, REDBOOK, ESSENCE, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, and many more. Calico Juno Designs has been worn by MTV and VH1 vj's, by Eva Longoria of Desperate Housewives, Dylan Lauren, Kathy Lee Gifford, and Geri Ryan. She has also been featured on several other online boutiques including The Marketplace at Lifestyle Daily, Lyrical Beauty, Chicago Fashionista, Chicago Beauty, Maiden America Style, and All Dolled-up.
