Jewelry

Jewelry is a small art form with big significance. Whether it is a wedding ring symbolizing love, a figurative design representing something meaningful to the wearer, or a unique gem which declares “I am one of a kind,” jewelry expresses our loves and our sense of self. It often commemorates significant moments in our lives, and treasured pieces of jewelry are handed down through generations. Techniques for making jewelry vary from the complex to the simple. Traditional fabrication methods include sawing, forming & soldering sheets of metal or sculpting from a block of wax. At its highest level, jewelry art requires tremendous technical skill as well as thoughtful design. From Kirk Milette’s rare abalone pearls in whimsical designs to Marita Holton’s delightful crowns, jewelers at the Sawdust offer adornments for all.
