Arizona DreamsMary Darwall-Utah
Bead weaving 18” plus 2” extender

Turquoise and Amber beads hand woven

My inspiration comes from nature, the desert’s dry’ ocean’ plants such as sage. Mary creates unique organic bead jewelry by intertwining color, movement, and texture. She starts by stringing beads, stones, pearls on a 49- strand fabric, each piece evolves and grows from instinctual choice, thus each piece is a spontaneous creation. In this necklace I have used turquoise and amber. Mary Darwall.

Bezak Wave Necklace

by jody on Jan.14, 2009, under Jewelry, Necklace

Bezak Wave Necklace

Matt Bezak  Small, Medium, Large Cast glass jewelry on 14Kt gold with diamond.

Matt Bezak’s extraordinary pieces are created using “lost wax glass casting”, an ancient technique used by the early Egyptians as well as Rene Lalique. Matt was inspired by both to create objects of beauty, and the designs are inspired around the motifs that come straight out of his imagination and vision. His pieces are all individually hand carved and cast, meaning no two pieces are completely identical. The wave series captures the fluidity and grace of the ocean and seems to have an inner glow. His pieces make the perfect gift for anyone with an affinity for the sea.
