HAZELNY is a unique collection of gold and silver jewelry that
captures a hip and outspoken urban style"a strong, positive
reflection on the larger than life personalities who wear them.
Women and men alike want to adorn themselves in a stylishly
exceptional manner personified by HazelNY.
Artfully sculptured, HAZELNY rings, pendants, necklaces and earrings
are carved individually by hand and cast using the lost wax process
in silver, green, yellow or white gold; with many pieces adorned
with pearls or burnish set diamonds.
Design ideas spring from the unusual natural world with each piece
paying homage to the often overlooked, beauty that surrounds us:
swirling tidepools, celestial bodies hurtling through space, or the
play of light over reptilian skins.
The uncommonness of the work surpasses the ordinary. It is a jewelry
collection that knows how to shine.

Hi.
I’ve been making jewelry for about a year and am addicted! Lately,
I’ve begun doing metalsmith work. I’ve got a torch and I’m (now) not
afraid to use it!! 
I’m looking forward to learning from all the other members in this
forum.
Thanks! Meredith
