Olga Mihaylova

"For me, simplicity has always been the defining quality of great design. My work reflects my aspirations to achieve that simplicity and make it look effortless despite the intricate, time consuming process used to create my jewelry. I hope that their clean lines, subtle colors and textures make my pieces the perfect accessories for the modern woman".

Olga creates her jewelry by crocheting, stitching, and weaving thousands of tiny glass beads together. Basic geometric shapes flow into organic forms, producing clean, elegant designs. Olga’s signature style derives from her use of bead crochet. This centuries-old technique allows for great creative freedom when combined with modern materials.

Originally from Bulgaria, a land with rich craft heritage, Olga has lived in the United States for the past twenty years. Her fascination with the art of beadwork was a natural expansion of her love of fiber arts. The infinite possibilities and meditative quality of this ancient craft has kept Olga’s focus ever since."
