Iris Algom - Jewelry Gallery

As an art jeweler I work like a sculptor. I make “sculptures to wear”. By wearing a sculpture, letting it touch your skin or attaching it to your clothes, you create a more intimate and personal relationship to the object. In the current collection I use reflections of human forms and landscapes. Starting from a 2-dimensional sheet of metal or wax I transform feelings and thoughts in to 3-dimensional forms. During the process I constantly add and remove elements to create multiple layers of light and dark. Using 24k gold, oxidized silver, white silver, metal on metal, I strive to present images of strength and sensitivity. Brooches, rings, cuff-links, key chains and pendants to nourish your soul.
