Dawn Neumann - near Nashville

Dawn describes each unique piece of her jewelry as wearable art. Fused glass, lampwork, stones and minerals, pearls, glass beads and crystals are among the components that form the architecture of each piece. Metalsmith work and wire wrapping in sterling silver provides texture and polish to many of the pieces. Forging and soldering processes complete much of the fabrication. She has studied art formally at universities in Montana and California.

Calla Lilly, Susan Rogers, sterling silver with pearls

Susan Rogers – Ohio

Susan Rogers blends the best parts of antique jewelry with modern wear-ability. She grew up in Nashville and took art classes while earning her engineering degree from Vanderbilt. After years working as a “future model design engineer” at Ford Motor Company and then having her first son, Rogers began pursuing her passion for the history and fabrication of antique jewelry. Her collection proved that older pieces often are destructive to modern clothing. So she studied metalsmithing and beading to create jewelry designs that preserve the look and value of the antique pieces incorporated.
