Welcome to OBolisse! I'm Ollia, and from my home studio in beautiful Geneva, Switzerland, I
pour my heart into creating unique gemstone jewelry. For me, designing and crafting is not a
job, it's a cherished passion, a meditative escape where I get completely lost in the beauty of
gemstones and the creative process. It’s what keeps me going, and that’s why my motto is
"Wear the Inspiration" – each piece is born from my own inspiration, and I truly hope it
inspires a little magic in whoever wears it.
With over 15 years of design experience, my journey into jewelry making started from a deep
love for the craft itself, not with the intention to sell, but simply because I adore it. This
genuine passion is infused into every handmade necklace, gemstone bracelet, and pair of
statement earrings you'll find here.
The Allure of Natural Gemstones & Pearls:
I am instinctively drawn to natural gemstones and luminous pearls. Why? The colors! The
incredible, ever-changing hues found in natural stones are unlike anything else – each bead is
a miniature masterpiece, entirely unique. I spend countless hours, often on Etsy itself,
carefully selecting high-quality beads and materials, envisioning how their individual beauty
can combine into something truly special. My commitment is to create high-quality jewelry,
pieces that transcend fleeting trends and become cherished parts of your collection –
definitely not "one-day wear." For sensitive ears and lasting quality, all my earring hooks and
pins are crafted from sterling silver.
Limited Edition & One-of-a-Kind Treasures:
In a world of mass production, I cherish the unique. Most of my creations are one-of-a-kind
jewelry (OOAK) or produced in very limited editions. Even if I revisit a design, the natural
variations in the gemstones – their unique colors, patterns, and inclusions – mean no two
pieces will ever be exactly identical. This inherent uniqueness is precisely why I love working
with them, it is natural beauty that simply cannot be replicated, making every artisan jewelry
piece truly special.
Modern Boho Chic with a Touch of Magic:
While gemstones have been revered for ages, I love to bring a modern boho chic style to my
designs. My goal is to create inspirational jewelry that allows you to express your personality
and add a distinctive, personal touch to your outfit. Whether you're looking for an everyday
gemstone accessory to elevate your daily look with a touch of chic, or a bold statement piece
for a party or formal occasion, my jewelry is designed to be versatile.
I believe that the jewelry we wear is a powerful reflection of our personality. There's also a
belief that gemstones can absorb and carry energy. Given the sheer joy and positive intention
I pour into every piece, I like to think a little bit of that magic is passed on, making your
handmade jewelry even more special.
Every bead is chosen with care, every color combination considered with attention to detail.
My pieces are designed with the intention to be noticed, to spark curiosity, and perhaps even
prompt the question, "Where did you get that beautiful piece?" Because it’s not the kind of
jewelry you’ll find on every corner.
Thank you for visiting my shop and sharing in my passion for handcrafted gemstone jewelry. I
hope you find a piece that speaks to you and allows you to "Wear the Inspiration."
Warmly,
Ollia
