Woven Wire Mesh - Nicky Falkenhayn Jewelry

Each piece of delicate jewelry
created by Nicky Falkenhayn
is made by using a very old knitting
 machine but with the tension set by hand.

The lightweight knitted and crocheted
jewelry is made with wire mesh in sterling silver,
oxidized silver and 22K gold.

With a broad range of designs,
these pieces can easily be worn
by day and into the night.

 

 

 

It's easy to see why this jewelry

 has been described as,

lightweight, ethereal and comfortable.

Randi Chervitz Jewelry

We admire jewelry that explores fiber

techniques in metal.

Jewelry created by Randi Chervitz

features fine-gauge sterling silver and

gold wire crocheted into the design,

transforming metal into a sense of fabric.
The linear fabricated framework of each piece

blends flawlessly with the

curvaceous, lacy needlework of the wire.

We appreciate her fine metalsmithing skills,
 delicate manipulation of fine metal wires, and
very selective choice of gemstones.


The repetitive, intricate, complex designs are stunning.
This cuff is a wonderful example of her work.
It's called "18K Wide Bamboo Cuff with 12 Diamonds,"
and features hand-crocheted yellow gold wire
with hand-set diamonds.

We also love this ring called
18K Wide Bamboo Ring with 5 Diamonds."
It has movement and intrigue.

These sweet little numbers feel delicate yet structured.
They're called,
"Skinny Rectangle Earrings."

And this solid, chunky square platform
makes a beautiful frame for a crocheted
nesting of pearls.

This one is named, "Square Top Ring," and

features a delightful assortment of freshwater pearls.

 

Here's another example of the underlying structure
that is a hallmark of this artist's work.
Called, "Grid Pin/Pendant," the hand-crocheted
silver wire clearly provides a lacy softness to contrast
with the rigid grid structure.
 

Mixing techniques from multiple disciplines

allows an artist's imagination to expand.

This artist's work delights us for her ingenuity
and original designs.
The effects are fabulous.

Enjoy!
