Kekantus

The New Year’s Eve confetti in NYC is literally made of people’s hopes and dreams. The Times Square Visitor Center wall is open year round for people to put Post-Its up with their next-year’s wishes. Those wishes are made into confetti, and thousands of dreams flutter across Times Square as the ball drops. Source

Exquisite Leaves & Rose Shaped Gold Rings

Israeli artist Doron Merav learned the basics of jewelry making when he traveled to Rajasthan, India, where a jewelry making guru taught him the process of creation. Excited by this newfound talent, once Merav returned home he bought the equipment necessary to set up his studio.

His exquisite handmade gold rings inspired by the shape of leaves and roses have captured a fan following for all who appreciate the beauty of creativity, flowers and his technique. Titled “Leaves of Engagement”, each piece is handmade with 14k gold and the budding rose is surrounded by a composition of leaves, thus giving the illusion of a lush and real flower. Find them in his Etsy shop.
