Jeannine & Charles McKenzie |
|
Jeanine is primarily a self taught artist who is well rounded in her
medium as her work is very diverse with delicate mixtures of textures
and forms. Through the years her techniques have included casting,
electroforming, etching, and fabrication. To Jeanine, "designing
in metal is like playing, it's fun, exciting and adventuresome."
In
partnership with her husband, Charles, since 1992, their earrings are
fabricated from sterling silver, copper, brass, and bronze. The
pearls used in their earrings are all freshwater. The posts and
nuts on the earrings are all surgical stainless and hypoallergenic.
Shown
below is a sampling of some of the various earrings we have in stock and note that many of the same styles are
available in clip earrings. Many matching pins and pendants are
also available. |

Deborah Richardson |
|
As a
metalsmith, Deborah Richardson employs the techniques of forging,
raising, peening, milling and soldering sterling silver and 14 karat
gold wire and sheet. Working the hard, cold metals into visually
soft and fluid ornaments to wear gives her great satisfaction. She
has always been drawn to the curved, organic forms of nature. One
can see this reflected in her visual vocabulary in metal, a language
evocative of grapevine tendrils, river ripples and cloudlike swirls. |

Amenda Tate |
|
Amenda
Tate has been designing and creating cutting edge jewelry since 1996.
She studied Mechanical Engineering before realizing that her interest in
"how things work" would be better satisfied in a more expressive mode:
jewelry and metalsmithing. By combining hand forging and
fabrication with roller-embossed, fold-formed, cast, soldered, and
riveted elements, Amenda's designs result in jewelry that embodies a
sculptural presence. |
