New Fine Art Inspired Resin Bangles Pay Homage to Classic Painters & Their Masterpieces

Known for crafting stunning resin jewelry with real flowers, Bulgarian based jewelry boutique PAGANE Uniques has also crafted a collection of fine art bangles inspired by classical art.

Featuring Gustav Klimt’s sensual signature piece, The Kiss, Vincent van Gogh’s favorite flowers, Sunflowers, and Henri Matisse’s abstract work, Cut-Outs, each piece is made with love, joy, and completely manually. 

They remind us that since all bracelets are handmade, they reveal with pride 

“…We confidently affirm that our jewelry is unique. All pieces are gently selected for you with its own individual and unique irradiance.”

To add a more educational touch, each piece contains a mini-biography of the artist featured on the inside of the bangles, for all art history enthusiasts. 

Find the entire collection in their Etsy shop.

There is one generation that has been consistently defined by its obsessions: avocado toast, memes, Harry Potter … and self-care. They are often perceived as entitled snowflakes, but millennials might be the generation of emotional intelligence.

Self-care existed long before millennials did. Ancient Greeks saw it as a way to make people more honest citizens who were more likely to care for others. In her 1988 book, A Burst of Light, Audre Lorde wrote that “caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.”

Today, self-care, as it’s defined by Gracy Obuchowicz, a facilitator and self-care mentor and coach in Washington, D.C., “assumes that we’re OK as we are and we just need to take care of ourselves … Self-care alone is not enough. You need to have self-awareness too. Self-care plus self-awareness equals self-love.”

The Millennial Obsession With Self-Care

Neither albino nor polar bear, these rare black bears (there are fewer than five hundred) are known as kermode bears, or what the gitga’at first nation call mooksgm’ol, the spirit bear — a word they did not speak to european fur traders lest the bears be discovered and hunted. to this day, it remains taboo to hunt a spirit bear, or to mention them to outsiders.

The white fur in these bears is triggered by a recessive mutation of the same gene associated with red hair and fair skin in humans. though it remains unclear as to how the trait arose (or disappeared), it is especially pronounced on certain islands.
