Shellie V Jewelry
I love to show the hidden beauty in seemingly mundane things and serendipity of unexpected combinations. I also love the challenge of making items inspired by fantasy into beautiful reality. I always try to include layers of symbolism and to make something that is more than it appears to be at first glance. That is why I love to create in steel. I can craft incredibly strong, sturdy jewelry that is also lightweight and comfortable. My woven wirework only looks dainty, delicate and fragile. Actually, it is durable, practical and quite literally strong as the steel it is made of! It is a perfect metaphor for feminine beauty! I want my creations to inspire new ways of thinking and seeing the world. I want you to get new perspectives, get curious, really look at things and see the beauty in places you didn’t see it before. I want to inspire your imagination. I want you to see little bits of magic all around you. Adornments are wonderful physical reminders of beautiful ideas; I want my creations to remind you of inner strength and beauty. Many of my designs feature beautiful backs or are double sided. It is to remind you that you have many sides, and that often the most beautiful thing is on the inside. It is a little secret for you to enjoy. I feel that what you wear should be very personal. It should speak to your soul. I celebrate the energy of slight variations in a totally handmade item. You should feel empowered by the individuality and uniqueness of the items. Let the organic features of a crystal or a stone remind you that we are all perfectly imperfect. We are the ordinary elevated to extraordinary!
