Laura Prieto-Velasco creates original jewelry, pieces of art sculptural and organic. Objects that change over time, concealing their materials or construction methods and revealing an original character. Have a look at her very interesting work.
Artist’s statement::
I am interested in the way jewelry rarely escapes its fate of re-invention. Sometimes a piece will become part of a collection and remain frozen in a particular form for decades, maybe centuries, until it changes hands and is transformed again for one reason or another. It’s only a matter of time. My work is a reinterpretation of this history, a kind of living organism that thrives on change.

I instantly fell in love with Darcy Miro‘s jewelry! One of a kind jewelry pieces created out of sterling silver, white bronze and gold, each piece is a small sculpture, a work of art. Different surfaces and textures juxtapose with one another, pieces that are almost raw, unfinished and rough. They almost look like ancient findings!

Alexander Calder was an American sculptor and artist ..Born in a family of classically trained artists, Calder utilized his innovative genius to change the course of modern art. He began by developing a new method of sculpting: by bending and twisting wire, he essentially “drew” three-dimensional figures in space. He is renowned for the invention of the mobile, whose suspended, abstract elements move and balance in changing harmony. Calder also devoted himself to making outdoor sculpture on a grand scale from bolted sheet steel. Alexander Calder also created paintings, lithographs, toys,tapestry, jewelry and household objects. Let’s have a look at his fabulous jewelry, some of it it is hard to believe it was designed so many decades ago!
