Joanna Craft
Joanna Craft creates original, eclectic, colorful jewelry in sterling silver and resin in her California studio. Each piece is created by hand, using techniques of cutting, sawing, stamping, texturing and soldering silver and fabricating bezel frames to contain handmade paper, colorful designs and Kanji (Japanese characters) encased in clear resin. She draws her inspiration from Asian art and design, cultural symbols and colorful papers and textile design. The designs are clean and modern. The simplicity of the jewelry forms allows the colors and designs to be the focal point. The jewelry is eclectic, meaningful and very wearable.
A feature of the pieces that contain Kanji is that the English translation is engraved on the back of each piece. |
