Gorgeous Jewelry and other treasures by Mersiha Strelci

Mersiha is pleasant crafty woman, who lives in Gracanica, a small town in Bosnia and Herzegovina and there in her workshop she creates all the amazing masterpieces, that I'm going to show you today. She mostly makes jewelry - rings, pendants, outstanding earrings and necklaces, but like any creative person, she's not afraid of experiments. Mersiha also knits, creates beautiful crochet tablecloths and doilies and makes wonderful jewelry boxes.
