Quiet Drama - New Designs Coming Soon

The story behind many of my designs is pure necessity - when I am in need of some new jewelry I simply make it myself...  The joy of creating something from nothing is also a huge reward in itself - there is alchemy to how metal changes its shape and forms to what we envisioned.

In my collection there is a variety of designs from statement making to quite delicate and subtle.  This time I felt a need for several pieces that would make an every day more exciting, add some architectural shape to a simple outfit, and offer a dramatic accent.  As always, the pieces needed to be wearable and comfortable.

These five bracelets and cuffs will certainly fit the bill!

Coming to Joanna Morgan Designs in early 2013.  Available in brass and sterling silver (pictured here is the collection in brass).

Nature's Jewels

Drops of dew on a cold October morning - couldn't resist taking some pictures of them - they glistened and beckoned like diamonds, but were so much more fragile....

Fall Colors While They Last...

Just out for a walk with Mandy - enjoying autumn.

Just Because It's Still Summer - Sort Of...

Having a little fun with the Krystallos ring - and marveling at the gorgeous bark of this tree, and the juicy green (still!) of the leaves with brilliant blue sky peeking through...

Last Days of Summer...

Catching the last days of warm summer weather on beautiful Vashon Island...

Latest Love - Montana Agate

At the latest gem show I fell in love with the earthy colors and patterns of Montana Agate.  Each one is different, some with crazy abstract lines and dots - can't wait to set them into rings!
