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.”

Holly Stein’s work will make you say…WOW…from the home page to the variety of items featured in her Design Lines photos. “I challenge myself to create works that are conceptual in nature and stretch the limitations of my own ability as well as others’ preconceptions about art. I like incorporating common and recylced materials — altering purpose and usefulness and elevating what is perceived as refuse into, what I hope is, art. Many of my pieces employ unexpected twists — an unusual finished back, hidden talismanic words or jewelry as a decorative element on a completely functional box. I strive to make a connection with the viewer and wearer that makes the work exciting and original and can be enjoyed for it’s beauty and quality.”
