I will be launching my shop soon. About Amy Abrams Jewelry I began making jewelry in the early 1990's after a fateful trip to the library led me to discover a book about bead weaving using tiny glass seed beads. Over the years my passion for the beauty and intricacy of jewelry has led me in new directions and opened my eyes to different techniques and materials. My work is inspired by nature and the divine feminine, as well as the materials which infuse my work. In early 2005 I became a certified metal clay instructor using Art Clay Silver, a cutting edge material, developed and manufactured in Japan. I am very happy to note that the silver used in Art Clay Silver, rather than being strip-mined, is manufactured from silver that is recycled from industrial processes and manufactured with minimal impact on the local environment. I have also recently taken up the use of a bronze version of this clay and will be excited to unveil my first works made from this material soon! All of the materials I use in my work are genuine stones and pearls, fine silver, sterling silver, gold fill, vermeil (22k gold over sterling silver) and in some cases high karat gold, and now bronze (an alloy of copper and tin). For more information about my work, to place a special order, or to schedule a jewelry party or special fundraising event please to discuss. |
