This is work by Thea Izzi who works with what is called fused metal. It is gold on one side, sterling silver on the other. She uses it to make exquisite, geometric shaped jewelry. Her work can be found at her website Divine Geometric Design . She'll be showing at the ACAC Lincoln Center show in early June for my New York friends. |
Jera Lodge is my next jeweler. I loved her concept, but wasn't as sure about her methods and application. She uses stainless steel and other metals for her shapes, then patinas and paints them to get color and texture. I was a bit hesitant because I couldn't judge the durability of her paint, but I loved her unique concept and sense of style. |
Here is the stone, metal and jewel work of Julie Jerman-Melka. Julie and her husband Jeffrey are from Calumet, Michigan and their work is unique; river stones, cut, drilled and polished, often set with precious stones. I loved their design sense and the idea of merging the precious with the same stones that we have skipped across ponds while growing up. Their business is called Flying Anvil Designs . |
Heather Guidero textures silver and gold and sets precious stones (sometimes) in them to create unique, geometric designs. Her work is anything but the flashy. Instead, it has an industrial appearance and appeal. She's a bit pricey, but there's some very nice work here. This bracelet was very elegant while understated. |
Enamel by Wear Ever Jewelry from Budd Lake, New Jersey is my final choice for today's share. Jennifer Jordan Park fashions sturdy, textured and colorful enamel into very modern and functional jewelry. She's got two shows in the East scheduled for May and then she's in San Francisco for the final ACC Show of the season in August. She also teaches classes. and workshops in New Jersey. Check out her work on her website here. |
So there you have it - five more artists to brighten your day, along with links to each website. Sorry I forgot to put links in for yesterday's grouping, although they are pretty easy to do a quick search in Google and find their designs. Here's hoping your day goes smoothly and that my own will be unmarred by panic phone calls from DH or my wallpaper dude. Happy Tuesday to all!
