It’s Not Just Jewelry, It's Art . . .

“The day is an empty canvas, the shapes and colors are yours to choose.” Alex Noble

Every piece of my art jewelry follows a similar rhythm of construction and intention - but make no mistake, each one is a singular, soul-stirring creation with its own story to tell.

What unites the work is a curated composition of vintage and old-stock beads, rediscovered components, and beloved remnants of once-cherished jewelry, textiles and many other possibilities. Together, they come alive through a shared language of color, texture and timeworn charm.

Artisan-made elements, new and reproduction parts and pieces, pigments, patina and other mixed media will often assemble as well and emerge as part of the art like it was always meant to be there.

To some, this concept may appear to seem like an unorganized, fragmented pile of stuff, but there is no such thing in my creative world!

I see a cohesive collection of history; I see fantasy and imagination; I see simplicity and complexity, I see beauty and value - in the unexpected.

I invite you to look again more closely and see whispers of the past, echoes of nostalgia, and the layering of eras and aesthetics. 

Be open to feeling enchanted by an expression of times gone by. Recognize the ingenuity and innovation of mixing old and new, each with significance and appreciation. Notice the beauty, personality and style of the finished piece and the heart and soul of how everything plays so nicely together.

Art has power and purpose; it lights you up from the inside. It invites you to see the world with new eyes. It brings joy, warmth, and a certain kind of magic that lingers.

When you choose to adorn yourself with art jewelry, it’s more than just an accessory; it’s significant, it’s symbolic, it’s uniquely you.

Come take a look ! Risk falling in love and bring a little magic into your world.

Warm regards,

Suzanne
