Manya & Roumen to Debut Additional Sculpted Jewelry Depicting Animals in February at Leading Crafts Shows in Philadelphia and Baltimore

Online, January 27, 2010 (Newswire.com) - New York City-Manya & Roumen, the husband and wife designers known for their Nature-inspired jewelry collection, will premiere some magnificent additions to their precious animal kingdom at leading crafts shows in February. Their latest creations will be released Feb. 12-15 at the Buyers' Market of American Craft Show, Philadelphia Convention Center, and Feb. 23-28 at the American Craft Council Show at the Baltimore Convention Center.

The new creatures are a continuing evolution of the couple's depiction of detailed, whimsical flora and fauna, which Manya hand-carves in wax and then casts in 18k gold or sterling silver. One of the special additions that will make its debut is a Jeweled Chameleon ring in oxidized sterling silver with champagne diamonds. The sparkling reptile, with his charming smile, continues the designers' passion for telling stories. "We were fascinated by the fact that, according to the latest scientific research, chameleons change color not to camouflage themselves, but to communicate with other chameleons," say Manya & Roumen.

To view the new critters in all their magical glory, please visit Manya & Roumen in Booth 1605 at the Buyer's Market of American Craft Show in Philadelphia and Booth 609 at the American Craft Council Show in Baltimore.
