As Artful Home‘s Associate Merchant for Apparel and Jewelry, I have the opportunity to see exciting new jewelry on a daily basis, and I love seeing all of the extraordinary things artists create.
I’d like to take a moment to share some of the new artists, pieces, and trends I’ve come across recently, and share with you a little about why I find them so fabulous:
Acrylic & Gold Beveled Cuff
I love the geometric forms and bold fashion-forward style of Jennifer Merchant‘s work. Jennifer is known for her technique which involves bonding printed papers, gold leaf, and other materials between layers of solid acrylic. These cuffs are a great way to add a fun, personal statement to your wardrobe.
Sky & Water Through the Branches Pendant
The organic feel of Ben Dyer‘s jewelry is one of the things I love most about his work. Each one of his pieces has movement, which is both unique and graceful. His pieces are great for everyday wear or for special occasions, and the amount of detail in each is truly beautiful.
Silver, Red, and Jewel Tones Echo Necklace
I wear a lot of neutral-colored clothes, and Julie Powell‘s new pieces are perfect for adding that much-needed pop of color to any wardrobe. Her pieces not only exhibit an intricate amount of detail, but can truly become conversation pieces. Her interplay of color and texture is a sight to behold.
Jungle Fever Stacking Rings by Nancy Troske
Carved Prong Set Pyrite & Bimetal Rings by Heather Guidero
Stacking rings are a trend that I can’t stay away from. These versatile rings can be worn singly for a minimal statement, or stacked for a bolder look. I love the animal print inspired look of Nancy Troske‘s Jungle Fever Stacking Rings, and the sculptural feel of Heather Guidero‘s Carved Prong Set Pyrite & Bimetal Rings.
What new pieces are you excited about?
Wonderful jewelry Lauren! The piece by Julie Powell is gorgeous! I’m a huge fan of the mixed metals trend that is still around.Like the new gold and oxidized silver pieces by Rona Fisher – http://www.artfulhome.com/artist/Rona-Fisher-Jewelry-Design/8603.
Sarah, thanks for the mention of our mixed metal pieces!
Such beautiful pieces! I’m always amazed by the incredible details found in jewelry made by artists. Right now, I’m loving the bold, organic texture of Shauna Burke’s new work, especially this ring: http://www.artfulhome.com/product/Gold-Silver-Stone-Ring/Bejeweled-Hive-Cocktail-Ring/94699
