March 2010: Artist-Made Jewelry

Self adornment - we love it. One of the oldest and most popular types of self decoration is the wearing of jewelry. Some of the most special pieces are individual and created by hand. Handcrafted jewelry is not only an expression of the artist but of the wearer. A beautiful ring or simple pendant can speak to the feelings of the one who made it and how the person who wears it sees them self. Whether created in silver or gold; plain or sparkling with gems and stones, artist made jewelry is that often anonymous coming together of personalities that is unique.
