About
Wearing jewelry is fundamental
to the human experience.
We communicate our connections, values, and style through our jewelry.
Evidence shows humans have been making and wearing jewelry for 100,000 years. We've been at it so long that our subconscious entirely absorbs the meaning of these embellishments. Yet, we still know how to "read" the message each of us expresses. It's a fascinating exploration.
For Jewelry Makers
Those of us who make jewelry are members of a lineage that, for eons, has preserved and advanced a host of specialized skills. Knowing the effort required to master these technical skills, I understand how design study is often overlooked. An easy first step toward maximizing your technical skills is to learn design vocabulary.
Design is intuitive. Using words from the design lexicon helps bridge the gap between intuition and conscious intent.
