If you’re a longtime reader, this may look
familiar:
Yes, this is the shoe jewelry by artist Sara
Gallo! She makes stunning creations out
of one of many girls’ favorite memories: Barbie shoes. Look at all the little shoes in this necklace—strappy
sandals. T-strap sandals. T-strap pumps. Booties.
Dozens and dozens of tiny shoes turn her creations into something
unexpected and beautiful. (This necklace
will run you $125
for a single strand, or $195 if you go big and get two strands!) They come in bracelet form too—Sara sent me a
beautiful one made of tangerine T-strap sandals that you’ve probably seen me
wear if you know me in real life. (Or
see it on my wrist here!)
I featured Sara once before (back
in early 2012) but she’s come out with something new since I last checked in
and I had to share. What’s new? Silver!
She’s putting her silversmith expertise to good use with beautiful
silver shoe charms. Check it out!
Look at it!
It’s the classic silver Barbie pump we all know and love, in
silver. Love. The chain is 16 inches and is bedecked with
little dangly hearts, as if it wasn’t yet adorable enough. In fact, she calls it her Heels & Hearts
collection.
If this particular
shoe shape brings back painful memories of stepping on them (or your parent
stepping on them and yelling at you), good news! Sara’s got five (five!) more versions to
choose from, like the classic sandal:
And this strappy sandal:
I want this last shoe just to wear. I imagine silver is hard to walk in, but I
WILL MAKE IT WORK. The necklaces will
run you $85 at her Etsy
store. Just look at them all!
And there are matching earrings!
They’ve got the same dangly hearts and
everything. And do you see the little
hearts on the front of the lever back clasp?
I can barely stand it. The
earrings come in many kinds too, like these T-strap sandals:
Look at the crystals on these lever backs, instead
of the hearts. And I thought I couldn’t
love these earrings any more than I already did. The earrings will run you $125.
She also has rings:
($95
each.)
More simple necklaces, if shoes are your thing but
hearts aren’t:
And if you just can’t pick which shoe:
($420 from her Etsy
store.)
We heart Sara, because Sara hearts shoes!
($480.)
