Jewelry with Personality by Laura Stamper

So when was the last time you wore

jewelry with personality?

Literally?

With names like Redhead Mermaid, Sexy Siren,

Urban Goddess, Queen of the Butterflies,

and Garden Fairy you just know

every piece in this collection

has its own personality and its own story to tell.

Expressing one's vision means different things

to different people.

To Laura Stamper it means sculpting and painting 

delightful characters on porcelain

then creating equally lovely metal settings

for those paintings.

Her sculptural series features imaginative

tongue-in-cheek characters that just seem

to be infused with

charm and playfulness.

Approaching each piece of

jewelry like a painting allows the artist

to create a mood.  Most of the time

that mood is filled with pure whimsy.

 

Ultimately, her designs

 come to life when highlighted

with gemstones and set in

sterling silver with 22k gold.

 

Some of her characters are brazen and bold.

Some are innocent and demure.

Every richly imaginative piece

is filled with detail.

 

 

 

The real jewels in these pieces are expressed

in the intricate details and characters
representing the imagination and

ingenuity of the artist.

You're not just wearing jewelry,

you're wearing a work of art.

It's easy to see that her jewelry is like an

art gallery that can be boldly worn on one's

 fingers, wrists and neck.

Imogen Belfield Jewelry

Words like molten, raw,
volcanic, and dangerous
are not usually used when describing
jewelry.  Imogen Belfield creates jewelry
that blends artistic craftsmanship with an edgy,
flamboyant yet fashionable flair.
Each piece makes a statement
and captures one’s imagination.

Her distinctive collection features
nuggests of metal
clustered and encrusted
upon themselves.
Amazing textures, dramatic shapes,
stunning formations - they all
seem so otherworldly.
One can easily imagine that they might
have been spewed from the depths of a volcano,
or left behind by meteors showering
our planet with intergalactic detritus.
And much of her work is named to suggest
just such associations.
We are especially captivated by
her “Equilibrium” series
which she describes as being
 inspired by "star clusters, bubbling gases,
spiralling milky ways, and angular meteorites."

Here are a few of our favorites.


This ring is called ORBITAL
and features 22K gold-plated bronze.


 

 

 

 

Her signature bubble effect

is taken to the next level
in this ring called
Bubble Knuckle which also
features 22K gold-plated bronze.

 

These earrings are called Gold Nuggets.
They are made with 22K gold-plated sterling silver.



 

 

In this ring called Plasma, we love the way the
polished metal is snuggled within the protective
embrace of her signature molten bubbles.
It features 22K gold-plated bronze with
white porcelain fused beneath the
surface of the bronze.

 

Innovative techniques and a spirit of'
exploration capture and inspire
our imaginations.
Here we see work that is created
thoughtfully and meticulously
yet the results appear
spontaneous and serendipitous.
The final effect is stunning and inspiring.

Enjoy!
