Anna Lorich / Kirsten Muenster

I love the etheral quality of these pieces by Anna Lorich. The New York artist references both a variety of themes (childhood, history, symbolism, etc.) and collected objects (textiles, coins, miniatures, etc.) in her work, often using portraiture and landscape imagery to create "intimate keepsakes of moments and memories."

Bonus link: also referencing landscapes is San Francisco's Kirsten Muenster, who uses stones like Montana agate to create "wearable landscapes."

Even more jewellery:

• Brazen Design (Montreal) - silver cutouts


• Jewelberry (Germany) - ribbons & charms


• Poppy Dandiya (UK) - gold & gems
