Broche Flor - Boheme

Plata 925 y esmalte epóxico / Sterling Silver and epoxic enamel

Boheme

Piezas en plata 925 con esmalte epóxico en rojos. Varias de ellas tienen  movimiento (como reguiletes o molinillos) y se amoldan y se mueven con el cuerpo.

Mi fuente de inspiración es la joyería de Bohemia (rep. Checa, Alemania, etc), en cuyas piezas se utilizan motivos florales figurativos y como piedra principal el granate. Yo las reinterpreto, contemporizo y estas flores híbridas son mi propia versión de las joyas de Bohemia.

The Art of Jewelry Wood

The Art of Jewelry series brings crafters an eye-opening assortment of wood necklaces, bangles, and earrings to make—alongside a gallery of inspirational work from the best contemporary artists. Filled with stepped-out examples of each project in different stages, it covers all the basics, including an exploration of sawing, sanding, drilling, carving, pyrography, and painting. The 30 inspiring projects feature such standout pieces as a carved ebony ring, copper and wood brooches embellished with pyrographed patterns, and a rich mahogany pendant dotted with delicate pearls. All the items are showcased in beautiful color images, accompanied by the artists’ professional insights and creative tips.

500 Wedding Rings

Wedding rings symbolize commitment and eternal love—but in the hands of the world’s most creative jewelers they become works of art to interpret in endlessly intriguing ways. This breathtaking book, which showcases a stunning collection of contemporary, handmade wedding bands and engagement rings for men and women, shows just how far their imaginations can go. Masterfully set diamonds stand alongside conceptual designs that reflect a cutting-edge approach, such as Etienne Perret’s ring made for two fingers. The large gems in James Kaya’s sleek platinum setting, by contrast, seem almost suspended in air; it’s the tension of the surrounding metal that holds them in place. For jewelers in search of new ideas, and those about to whisper “I do,” these designs provide beautiful inspiration.

500 Metal Vessels

Juried by Fred Fenster, a distinguished presence in the field, 500 Metal Vessels features page after page of superbly crafted bowls, teapots, vases, chalices, urns, and other exquisite handmade hollowware. Made from diverse metals and techniques (forging, raising, casting, forming, soldering, and welding), these eye-catching pieces also display gorgeous applied surface embellishments, from enamel to repoussé. Explore Sarah Perkin’s luminous enamel bowls; the monumental vessels, made by Kim Cridler out of unassuming steel rods; and the work of Tom Ferrero, whose fascination with architecture and Gothic forms inspired his meticulous surface designs.
