Dahlia Kanner [1996, Jewelry + Metalsmithing]

Creating bold jewelry that has a highly textural skin and organic lines is my motivation. My pieces are crafted from sterling silver, 18k gold, 22k gold, or Platinum. Often precious stones are used for pops of contrasting color. I employ the techniques of fabrication, carving, and casting to achieve one of a kind and limited production works. I am inspired by the structures of microorganisms and the transformation of their patterns into sculptural adornment.
