Directory of American Art Jewelers
I have always loved jewelry and I have always been a tinkerer. I feel fortunate to work with malleable metals such as silver and gold. My inspirations are found in subtle moments and places and I take great pleasure in translating them into sophisticated designs. Each piece is hand crafted from sterling silver, 14k gold, copper and various stones,predominately agate, jasper, drusy, turquoise and others. Each piece has a satin finish that is contemporary and is easy to maintain. Each piece is signed and limited editions are numbered.
Mary & Spencer Watson, Silver Stone Mary fabricates wonderful sterling silver art jewelry using traditional metalsmithing techniques and less well known processes of score forming and torch-fired enameling. As well as being great jewelry pieces, many of her creations function as small scale sculpture when not being worn. Spencer’s art is crafted using carefully chosen natural beach stones. After applying a hand cut stencil of each design, he uses a sand-blasting technique to make his unique and touching pieces. His creations are often blended into Mary’s jewelry as well as being enjoyed as table top sculpture alone or in groups.
Nichole Collins Jewelry The jewelry incorporates natural flower petals inlaid in resin and encased in hand fabricated sterling silver and 18k yellow gold. Each petal is inlaid by hand into the jewelry. Contemporary shapes along with organic lines are used to create the piece.
I am currently exploring
patination and texturing on various metal surfaces. My intention is to utilize
found objects from various vacations to the desert, mountains and ocean.
