Favorite Jewelry Designers of 2006
Filed in archive Jewelry Designers by tammy on December 26, 2006
As I've expressed before, I'm no expert. I joke that I'm a "jewelry journalist," but honestly, I'm a writer (and, yes, big difference between writer and journalist!), a jewelry designer myself, and a person who appreciates the craft of creating jewelry. I write my thoughts on a topic I enjoy. That's it. Some can take it, and some can leave it. Luckily, I have found over the past year (plus) that most of my readers are like I am and enjoy my thoughts on jewelry.
Okay, here you go, some of my favs from 2006, in no particular order:
- Jennifer "JJ" Singh from Matisse Designs- The necklace pictured is an example of her unique metal work.
- Kenneth Fron - Heavy on the bead and the passion - he obviously loves his work.
- Laura James - An up and coming jewelry designer, Laura is beginning to incorporate more metal into her gemstone beaded designs. It will be interesting to see her design skills develop over the next year.
- Yummi Glass designer Allison Overbeke shows us what can be done with glass of all things for creating beautiful and colorful jewelry.
- Karin Collins from Spoonfed Art - Another unique approach to using materials not often seen in jewelry, and she helps out a cause at the same time.
- Sonya Ooten - Not everyone can pull off Crochet
wire jewelry, but she does. - Pallavi Dudeja Foley - She will continue to be a jewelry trend setter, no doubt.
- Jenifer Altman of Juniper Designs - She hit it big with the vintage slash mixed media look. What will she bring us in 2007?
- Juliet Renee Williams, owner of JulRe Designs - Managing to give us chunky, funky, and still something you could wear to work, this designer always seems to be ahead of the trends.
- Designer Vincenzo Taormina - Will he continue to please us with his clean lines and contemporary jewelry designs? I hope so!
- Jewelry designer, Lulu Frost - Who will forget her number necklaces and watch earring?
- Meredith Miller - She's another jewelry designer who turned to mix media techniques with her poker chip jewelry.
