Art Jewelry - Hand Crafted in USA
by Diana Kirkpatrick
I
started creating handmade artisan jewelry several years ago, after
working on mostly beaded designs for some time. I love gemstone
beads and crystals and I include lots of them in my unique
handcrafted bracelets and my necklace and earring designs. My
hand-woven handcrafted silver and gold artisan jewelry includes
one-of-a-kind woven and braided pendants with a variety of
gemstones, handcrafted gemstone earrings, bracelets, and more –
gorgeous artisan jewelry that you will love to own and wear or to
give as a gift.
I’m inspired by the world around me – the design of a leaf, a bird
feather, the sun on the water. Long ago, I fell in love with beads
and the design possibilities of gemstones and metals - my silver and
gold artisan jewelry designs are strictly one-of-a-kind. No two
pieces are exactly alike. My elaborate art jewelry pendants are
labors of love. Each design contains many feet of coiled and woven
fine silver which creates the settings for gemstone cabochons and
beads or pearls. Every one of these pieces requires many hours of
handweaving to complete. These art jewelry pendants spring from
initial designs, but they tend to take on a life of their own as I
work on them. The final piece may differ substantially from that
initial design.

Kirkpatrick – Art You Can Wear is a woman-owned company and I design
handcrafted artisan jewelry for women who love artisan jewelry as
much as I do. Handmade artisan jewelry has a flair all its own.
People are drawn to handcrafted artisan jewelry pieces because they
are unique. That’s why many people prefer to purchase handmade
artisan jewelry.
Indulge yourself in the luxury of
my handcrafted artisan jewelry designs. All the designs on my
website are made from the finest materials. My one-of-a-kind artisan
jewelry designs include silver, gold, freshwater pearls, and
gemstones. I use some of my favorite gemstones in many of my pieces
– turquoise, labradorite, lapis, aventurine, rose quartz, amethyst,
peridot, tourmaline, citrine, carnelian, spinel, smokey quartz, rock
crystal, moonstones, jade, onyx, and more. My handcrafted silver and
gold artisan jewelry is high quality jewelry that will last a
lifetime.
Recently I’ve been designing art
jewelry pieces in a gorgeous assortment of freshwater pearls, too.
My unique handcrafted pearl necklaces include blends of blister
pearls, round pearls, and little keishi pearl flowers – all accented
with Swarovski crystals. I’m currently working on a pendant of
keishi pearls with rose quartz beads and brios to match earrings I
created earlier.
Take a look – there are endless art
jewelry possibilities in my handcrafted silver and gold jewelry
designs and custom art jewelry work. I’ve recently added some
braided and twisted designs that are a mix of gemstone beads,
silver, and fibers. These pieces are elegant handcrafted designs
that work well as necklaces and can also be made as bracelets and
headpieces.
