Heart-felt Jewelry

1/25/2022

Well, I have no excuses.
I wrote before I was never into this 'heart' thing, admitted I toiled with some of them...but NEVER thought I would be caught in the act!
Gotta say though, all those 'heart' memories gave some itching to my hands, and I just could not resist.
Not anymore.

So here we go, blushingly disclosing my latest 'heart-shaped' happy ongoing experiments in the studio...it's play time, and I like it!

stay tuned, the hearts are coming!

Jewelry Matters of the Heart

Not much into hearts, but have made a few in the years past.
Looking into my slide folders (remember those?), I just re-discovered a full selection of them, earrings and pins and pendant and necklaces...Played around a bit with a cheap slide scanning app on my phone and here's a couple of shots, all sold long ago.

Heart Pendant in copper on an oxidized sterling silver cable - private collection, Boston/MA

A couple of Heart Earrings in copper and brass

Lightheartedly Pendant 15 - pierced brass, oxidized sterling silver bead chain - private collection, San Francisco/CA

Lightheartedly 15. pendant in brass with an oxidized sterling silver bead chain - private collection, San Francisco/CA

Bitten Heart 2 - copper, sterling silver

This one I remember, it sold in a flash at a gallery in Milwaukee/WI - heat patina on copper, a sterling silver bead chain with a sterling silver clasp.
Someone had taken a bit bite out of it...

And then there is this one, possibly the most precious of them all.
Sister to the copper one above and the only one left from my hearts experiments, this is a stunning necklace with strong impact.

It has a heart pierced in sterling silver, it has that bite in warm yellow 18k gold to accentuate the piece with memory, and it all hangs from a sterling silver snake chain, with a sterling silver toggle&bar clasp for no-fuss wearing.

Fresh Start

1/4/2022

Picking up from an older project, almost a year from today.
Woke up in the middle of the night recently, eyes wide open, like something calling from afar and, all of a sudden, I saw this:

Notes and scribblings on copper to remind me of thing to make, sooner or later...
My hands are itching to explore, a fresh push for new beginnings...

Stay tuned!
