Dahlia Kanner [1996, Jewelry + Metalsmithing]
The focus is on bold and highly textural jewelry that channel the rhythms and forces of nature. Pieces are handcrafted from sterling silver or 18k gold with precious stones used to add pops of color contrast. The techniques of fabrication, forming, carving, and casting are employed to achieve one of a kind and limited production pieces. The structures of microorganisms and their patterns are a huge inspiration when creating sculptural adornments for the body.
