Her “Cluster” collection features prominently fresh water pearls and rock crystal clusters accented with semi precious stones, sterling silver, 14-karat gold, bone, wood, horn and glass in unusual and variant colors and shapes. The “Ribbon” collection features hand-dyed silk ribbon wrapped around hollow tube rings to form bibs, chains and convertible pieces.

Quirky Girl Recycled Tin Can Earrings

All A Quirk of Art jewelry is imagined, created and hand-crafted with quality craftsmanship by me, Beth Taylor, in my Bethlehem, PA studio.

My journey with jewelry began in 2002 as a creative outlet from a very stressful job. Who would have known that one simple weekend workshop would lead me to my life’s passion! But as soon as I picked up a torch and applied fire to metal, I knew I was hooked.

Never very interested in creating traditional jewelry, I explored ways to incorporate non-traditional materials into my work. When I began combining found and recycled objects with more traditional materials like sterling silver and gemstones, I found my true creative voice. I became an avid “picker”, determined to save remnants of the past from junk drawers and garbage heaps everywhere and elevate them to the status of wearable art.  read more …

Cynthia Jones Jewelry strives to achieve an understated sophistication with pieces such as her most basic teardrop earring. Weight plays a major part in the design process. Keeping her pieces as light as possible, Cynthia ensures that in addition to being visually simple, they take on an effortlessly light form. The occasional use of colored stones (jaspers, jade, labdorite, moss agate, carnelian) helps women to accent their wardrobe with deep purples, pale greens and rich ambers. Ignoring trends, Cynthia creates contemporary, handcrafted jewelry that is timelessly modern, and appropriate for any occasion.

Ohhh we so wish we could swing through this exhibit of Julie Lake’s amazing creations in it’s last weekend; if you live nearby please go for us! Get to know her better in her Designer Profile, and if you are nowhere near New Mexico (like us!) you can shop her unique line of jewels right in her Smashing Darling boutique.

I have to avoid thinking too much, and I don’t keep a sketchbook. I just start working and hope something beautiful happens, and then I hope I can do it again.

Influences behind each collection comes through color, shapes (specifically their behaviour within optical illusions and perspective), and traditional hand-crafting cultures of South America, Africa and Asia. Since 2009, the brand has quickly evolved from craft experimentation to a smart, and one of a kind product for an international fashion marketplace.

We loved this interview with Darling PINaR Eris by Dana’s Hollywood. Read Fashion for Rebels, and be sure to check out Pinar’s new pieces in her Darling boutique.

PINAR ERIS: I don’t think I have a specific aim… this is my art, somehow, and I would just like to offer unique items. I believe we are all very individual human beings, but society and media are trying to make us all same. Maybe my fashion is a kind of rebellion against that. I don’t like trends that much – I feel trends kill our uniqueness.

Meet Sonya Coulson Rook, and independent jewelry designer from Raleigh, NC. Her jewelry line, Metalmorphosis has the perfect vibe for when you need a little something that makes a statement without looking like you’re trying to hard. We love the simple organic feel she allows her pieces to keep. Keep reading to find out what fascinates this indie designer. Take a peek at her boutique to view all of her collection.

Indie designer Sonya Coulson Rook

I have always been fascinated by the visual changes objects undergo during the process of aging or decomposition. In my work, I am interested in exploring the relationship between organic and industrial objects, and the contrast between clean simple surfaces and heavily textured surfaces. I often incorporate various found objects and materials in my work in an effort to give a newly created object a sense of history.
