Is this the legendary ethereal vibe? Every piece is one of a kind from the dreamy British indie brand Telysia, with Y2K energy turned all the way up

Every summer, when you slip into a breezy tank top or strapless top, do your arms feel a little bare? Maybe you’ve considered getting a tattoo as a personal statement, yet you’re afraid of the pain, worried you’ll regret it, or even dreading a lecture from your family. Then this is your lifesaver! This summer, instead of traditional tattoos, pieces from British indie brand Telysia Jewellery have quickly gone viral on social media, thanks to their distinctive designs with a Dreamcore-like filter, becoming one of this year’s most worthwhile dreamy summer accessories.

A Surreal Dreamlike Style

These accessories that have girls swooning are handcrafted by British designer Tia, founder of Telysia Jewellery. Unlike the rigid, industrial-style metal hoops commonly found in accessory stores, Tia’s work is filled with surreal fluidity and a sense of life.

She uses silver aluminum wire with translucent beads and stone chips to shape unusual flowers, vines, butterflies, and even irregular life forms. With their slightly rough handmade feel and lively, skeletal designs, her pieces are a perfect fit for the Dreamcore aesthetic that has been popular in recent years: an ethereal feeling that hovers between reality and dreams, at once nostalgic and slightly mysterious. Wearing one feels like adorning yourself with a piece of jewelry dropped into the human world by an elf, quietly blooming across your skin with an unreal kind of beauty.

More Airy and Dimensional Than a Tattoo

Another reason these arm cuffs are so popular is that each one is entirely handmade, with a warmth that machines cannot replicate. Much of Tia’s inspiration comes from nature, and the malleability of aluminum allows the pieces to naturally wrap around the contours of the arm.

Compared with a flat tattoo on the skin, this 3D effect feels airier and more dimensional. Isn’t it reminiscent of the slightly hazy, floating visual experience often seen in Dreamcore? Best of all, you can put it on or take it off whenever you like, and buy several styles to pair with different outfits.

Every Piece Is One of a Kind

At present, Telysia Jewellery mainly accepts custom orders through its official Instagram. If you also like standing out and care about the details of your outfits, you can even talk to the designer about adding your favorite beaded accessories to create your own arm piece.

For styling, whether you wear a Y2K-style top with lace or sheer details, or a minimalist white tank top, adding one of these arm cuffs can instantly give your look a dreamy filter. The refraction it creates in the sunlight will certainly make you an eye-catching, elegant presence at summer parties or on vacation.
