Jewelry

Mary Gohman

St Cloud

Designs range from contemporary to organic forms as I experiment with variations and techniques. I often incorporate twigs that are molded and cast into sterling and gold, adding fabricated elements. I carve the wax, cast and fabricate pieces in sterling and 14k gold. I use traditional faceted and cabochon gemstones along with the unique forms of fossils, crystalline , uncut and carved shapes.

Victoria Rose Originals, Richfield

All jewelry in the Victoria Rose Originals line is created using a variety of beading techniques. Each year new designs are added providing several different styles to choose from. I love working with the beauty of antique beads, semi-precious stones, seed beads, vintage glass, gold-filled or sterling silver findings, or a combination of these in each unique piece.

THe Hughes Girls, Chanhassen

My jewelry making techniques include resin, wire wrapping, cold connections, epoxy clay and beading. Definitely never make the same thing twice. Often times bring in a bit of humor with vintage photos. Style would be categorized as “Boho” with lots of leather! Jewelry for the young at heart! Leather, bright colors, humor, for a reasonable prices.

Trendy & modern jewelry for the creative and unconventional. Each piece is handmade of polymer clay, raw brass, and semiprecious gemstones. The pieces come to life by combining geometric & organic shapes with texture, unique color pallets, & playful patterns. I hope that my jewelry provides an outlet for others who share my playful and unconventional nature.

Full Bloom Beadwork, Northfield

I use perfected bead-weaving techniques to make my original jewelry. My primary materials are tiny, colorful glass beads.

I hand-weave each element in my pieces. To weave the beads I use the thinnest needles and filament fishing line. I may also use bits of fiber, metal, glass and stone in my pieces.

Sue Peoples

Peoples Bead Dreams, Owatanna

I use Italian glass to melt and create handmade lampwork beads that I then incorporate into jewelry. My jewelry showcases my love for bead weaving and lampwork into one. I gravitate towards bright and bold colors, textures, and designs which envoke happiness. I am a jewelry artist with a keen sense of design and a fondness for color. Working with glass and fire is meditative for me and brings me joy.

Mark Nuebel

Newport

All my work is derived from sheet metal and wire in many gauges and many different surface treatments to bring out the fun and elegance of well designed mixed metal jewelry. Forever in love with the miniature as a boy and ever since, I found satisfying artistic expression in my style of miniature sculptural art. I might describe their qualities as whimsical industrial and mechanical.

Felixery, Dleano

Hand hewn sterling silver jewelry created using traditional metalsmith techniques often accented with stones. Creating is very spiritual for me. It is in my being. My art reflects my love for Life around me; people & things, natural & industrial. Working in metal merges my innate need to be precise in the skills and knowledge of the medium with the freedom & creativity of being an artist
