Harmony Pearls

In this collection I wanted to experiment more with metalsmithing and using silver frames to draw the eye to single pearls.  Harmony represents the way that hard metals and soft, natural pearls interact to create an attractive combination of shapes and forms.

 

I like the openness of the wire shapes with the smooth lustre of the pearls.  There is a theory in Zen design that the open space is as important as the substance that surrounds and fills it,  and I have tried to capture that concept in this collection.

 

There is also a delicate, fragile balance that hints at the way nature and man interact, with the forged metal and the natural pearls.
