I think it’s time for something a little different, so I bring you some wonderful examples of art jewelry. And while you could say that all jewelry is a form of art, I believe the following pieces go the extra mile to live up to the term “art jewelry”. And don’t forget- if you’re interested in a particular piece or the artist you can click on their name or the name of the piece. Enjoy! I did.

“volcano steampunk ring 2″ by CatherinetteRings
Artist Comment: One of my favorite swarovski color is the volcano . It is a glimmering crystal with all the colors of a lava flow from burning red ,orange , deep purple to bright spring green. It is very similar to all the colors of fire at extremely high temperatures . The base of the crystal is coated to create a reflective effect , the crystal catches the light, displaying an amazing array of colors which in turn catches people’s eye.

“Blue ButterflyWing Labradorite” by Nambroth
Artist Comment: This is a Labradorite carefully hand wrapped in Argentium sterling silver. What a pretty stone this is! It reminds me of the lovely reflective metallic blue wings of Morpho Butterflies, hence the name. I hand wrap these pieces with nothing more than my fingers and a tiny pair of pliers. I purchase the stones already polished from rock and gem shows.

“Steampunk – Gothic Cuff Watch” by Aranwen
Artist Comment: Silver plated brass, hand-sculpted polymer clay rose, working watch face.
So I tried to make a similar theme like the previous watch that everyone loved so much. It has some “steam punk” elements plus the silver colour and black rose that give it a gothic essence. The placement of the wings was my favourite part, it reminded me of so many things. Valkyries, mythology, even my favourite cartoon when I was a kid, She-Ra.

It was difficult to choose from so many different pieces of art jewelry. But it was still fun.

A great talent. So tempting to buy.
Even more tempting to wear, maybe… ?

Beads, beading and jewellery in the designs of Lhuillier are used in different ways. Some designs use the beads as a component of the fabric itself. An example is the white dress mixed with black beads dressed by model Natalia Gotsii in the recent Lhuillier’s spring collection.
Accents are also made of beads in a Lhuillier designs. Rarely does the designer use a bow or fabrics as an accents in her dresses.
