Ornamental Elements

Still in Art Jewelry March Issue, Holly Stein has an intriguing element in a very colorful pendant…cement. (Unfortunately, I could not find a photo of her pendant, but this pendant by Tom McCarthy shows the possibilities of exploring cement as a design element.)  “In our March 2013 issue, we featured a project by Holly Stein titled, “Learn How to Use Cement in Jewelry Design.” Inspired by that project, we invited renowned jewelry artists to submit images of their work utilizing concrete/cement. This gallery showcases some of the best contemporary concrete/cement jewelry work being created today, and highlights the versatility of this commonplace, industrial material.”
