I have been making jewelry for 15 years and I am always thrilled when an idea takes you somewhere special. I gravitate toward textures that can make a two-dimensional piece come alive with light. There is magic when you find a unique stone and color. Making a beautiful piece of jewelry by hand never ceases to excite me.
Over the years I have done fashion jewelry for stores and museum shops across the country. You can see these jewelry lines if you click-on Collections.
But my guilty pleasure is fine jewelry and working in 22kt gold. I take pure 24kt gold and alloy it down to 22kt with a special formula that allows me to fuse and granulate. You will see that many of my One-of-a-Kind pieces have a modern twist on classical Roman granulation. My work tends to be organic, with the variation in granule sizes bringing light and texture to the piece. I like to think of all my pieces as wearable art.
I thank all of you who have been my muses and have helped support me through my jewelry addiction. If you have questions about a piece, or want to create something special together, please contact me at bethsosin@gmail.com
