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.

Stingray Skin Jewelry by Carla Reiter

Carla Reiter’s original collection of jewelry is unmistakable.

Knitting metal freehand, using pliers and fingers,

each piece is a labor of love.

Her knitted silver, gold, and copper pieces

incorporate diamonds, pyrite, and precious stones.

She has now created a new collection

made with stingray leather that

she dyes and patinates.

The collection is called Shagreen and

it's the roughness of the stingray skin that lends

itself so well to this jewelry.

It creates a mottled, granular effect.

I especially like how the pebbly texture of the

stingray skin gives an eye-catching mosaic effect.

You can see more of this innovative work

at Carla Reiter's website.
