Hello & Welcome to my website !
My name is Marianne Janik & my handmade designs are called Calli b.
If you can't tell from the photo....I LOVE GEMSTONES!
If I were to describe my jewelry design aesthetic in two words it would be
“Simply Dramatic”
My website is NEW, so if you see something you like feel free to contact me!
OR stop by one of the many art shows & festivals I'll be at this year
My Designs:
Every piece of jewelry is custom designed and meticulously handcrafted with tons of love, time, care & attention by me.
All of my jewelry is comprised of genuine gemstones, pearls, minerals, blown glass, and precious metals.
Most of my pieces are one of a kind, however, with some tweaking, I can try to create some similar designs if you find something you can't live without. I absolutely love the challenge of constantly coming up with something new and fresh. I travel far and wide in order to hand select all of my own gemstones, pearls, and precious metals. When choosing gemstones, I pay particular attention to fabulous and interesting shapes, cuts, colors, sizes and textures. I get real excited when I find completely unusual stones that you rarely see.

My Inspiration:
In addition to fabulous gemstones, I am also inspired by the coastal environment where I love and live in Portsmouth, NH.
I love EVERY single thing Seaside………it just makes me happy!
I love the water, beach, sun, sand, shells, lobsters, the vast colors of the ocean, sand under my toes, salty water, smooth beach stones & pebbles, sundresses, little fishies & big fishies, lighthouses, sea grass, sandcastles, snorkeling, sunsets, kayaking, sea glass, the gentle sound of waves, the crashing sound of waves, hermit crabs, piping plovers, the smell of Coppertone, fruity cocktails with umbrellas, flip-flops, striped beach bags, outdoor showers, dunes, old rickety splintered row boats, salty hair, sunglasses, sail bags, plush velour beach towels (that actually absorb water), sarongs, bikinis, sun kissed skin, painted toes, waves of any kind, tides, light ocean breezes, salty air, hammocks, conch, various textures under foot, lobster rolls, sun hats, beach parties, Maryland blue crabs, wampum, rope designs, canvas tote bags, periwinkles, Martha’s Vineyard, nautical designs, sand dollars, coral reefs, sheer curtains, clamming, rafts, paddleboards, colorful painted buoys, sailboats, Nantucket baskets, shell collecting, panama jack, anchors, fishing, thatched roofs, bright blue hydrangea, pale pink lip gloss, tanned feet, starfish, infinity pools, scuba diving, sling chairs, widows walks, drinking from coconuts, driftwood, anything white washed, teak, scalloped shells, luaus, old weathered barn wood, navy blue & white stripes, mermaids, mussels, sheer linens, any kind of linens, seahorses, bungalows, bright white cotton, fried clams, splash parties, floating, boogie boards, AND FINALLY.........chambered nautalis!
So........all that being said, you will notice, a very strong seaside influence in all of my work.
