I created the piece; a flower necklace and matching earrings through my first experience with jewelry design. I enjoyed taking difficult hard materials and being able to bend and change them to flow together in the soft petals of the flower. In the center of the flower are delicate small beads for the pistil of the flower. Learning how to handle the new material was a very unique experience for me. Taking time to carefully make sure that the final work not only looked like my vision but that it was also wearable was a very new experience for me.

Being able to take my thoughts and creativity and being able to turn that into a wearable piece of art directly is my favorite part of jewelry design. Exploring different materials and new ways to create art shows me my strengths and weaknesses and what I enjoy the most in art.
