Jennifer Chin - Lush Metals
Lush Metals is a small Boston-based company created by artist and metalsmith, Jennifer Chin. The foundation of her jewelry design is based on the idea of organic themes mixed with machine inspired motifs, the interplay between these two extremes, and the beautiful and interesting mathematical patterns that occur in nature. Kinetic movement plays an important role in the designs, and the jewelry is simple, playful, sophisticated and feminine.

   
 

Susan Fleming Jewelry
Susan’s work is made from Japanese Chiyogami papers instead of the traditional gemstone. The Chiyogami paper is inspired by the wallpaper in many of the old farm homes in Japan and is hand silk-screened, often depicting organic or geometric elements. Susan combines the prints from small scenes and then adds pearls and sterling silver to each unique handcrafted piece. A layer of resin waterproofs them. All pieces are hand fabricated in Susan’s studio in Bozeman, Montana.

 

   
  Deborah Kouzoukian—Loose Pearls
As a child, Debbie enjoyed walking the beaches of Little Compton, Rhode Island, with her father. They would pick up beach glass along the way, and she would notice the colors of the sand and sky. One day Debbie decided she was tired of wearing the two gold necklaces she had, so she decided to design her own. A friend admired one of her designs, Debbie gave her friend the piece, and the rest is history. Debbie searches for unique beads to make her pieces naturally elegant and uniquely striking. She has designed for celebrities. Be sure to look for her signature pearl in every piece she designs.
