Diana Hall [1994, Jewelry + Metalsmithing]

Carbon fiber is the unique ingredient in my jewelry. Drawing on inspiration from primitive design and modern aesthetic, I work to combine the strong, flexible, and intricate weave of carbon fiber with fine metals and precious stones. A strong and lightweight material unite with my linear, practical, and direct design. Carbon fiber, a material of the future, is paired with elements of a tribal past to create innovative, elegant (works) second-skin jewelry designed for swimming, surfing and casual dress up. It’s purity and natural beauty inspires the artisan in me to evoke feeling and turn a cold material into a piece of second-skin jewelry designed for swimming, surfing and casual dress up.
