Copper is popular in jewelry not just with wearers but with artisans. Its warm colour and malleability are its most attractive qualities.Jewelstreet is an American designer who has produced many hand-made jewelry pieces out of copper. I found it very difficult to choose from her many beautiful designs but I eventually settled on this design which she made for a Creative Challenge and named Evolution. Round hammered copper discs bear several copper chain dangles. The garnets and moonstone briolettes at the end of the dangles were perfect foil for copper. The use of the black vase was an inspired choice as her earrings are reminiscent of jewelry from antiquity. You can see more of Jewelstreet's designs on her website.

I know jewelstreet's work well and am the proud owner of four of her pieces (so far). Not only are the designs unique and thoughtful, but the workmanship is flawless. Wish you could see the braided bracelet I bought from her!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love to see that braided bracelet you bought from her. A celebration of jewelry design is the main focus of my blog so if you can take and send a good photo of it, I would gladly review it.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of jewelstreet's jewelry as well. Great review.
