Curvy Steel Earrings
Tamera Cooke
~2" long + earwire, Steel

Metal sculptor, Tamera Cooke, is making something new these days.  Earrings and necklaces beautifully curved from steel and copper now join her unity mandalas and hands at the Joyful Jewel.  The shapes are fun, and this particular pair is extra long so they really make a statement -- "Stop anything else, and just have fun!"

Anna Kurtz Ironwood and Sterling Silver Inlaid necklace at the Joyful Jewel

Sterling Silver Inlaid into Ironwood necklace
by Anna Kurtz
~ 2" x 3" on a leather cord with sterling silver clasp
and necklace extenders to allow 16" - about 19" lengths
$180

Handcrafted excellence along with an interesting creative edge and flow is what Anna Kurtz brings to her masterful jewelry making.  In this piece she has inlaid sterling silver into two pieces of ancient ironwood.  Anna doesn't name her pieces so we have only our own responses in appraising her pieces.  I imagine this one to be two whales noodling each other in an icy waved sea.  To me it is a powerful view of connection and play.

Elle - "Earrings" at the Joyful Jewel 1-23-14

Elle - Laura Seymore's Earrings

What fun shapes and components the imaginative Laura Seymore has found and designed to create these earrings.  Laura collects things and re-imagines materials such as cork, wooden spools and even yogurt containers.  I imagine that her friends all bring her old earrings which she deconstructs and then re-assembles into a completely new design!   Laura makes her own components too such as with polymer clay, metal or fiber.  She is wildly creative as you can see in the variety shown in just in this small sampling.
