Beautiful, light weight earrings, guaranteed to turn heads.
Xiomara Lorenzo Designs started 10 years ago in a Wesleyan University dorm. I was drawn to the hoop earring shape and decided to re-imagine it using continuous, intersecting lines.
I created a design whereby one could not tell where the lines began or ended. I pursued this design initially through craft wire. At a certain point, you couldn't walk around my senior house without getting beads and wires stuck to your socks!
After Wesleyan, I continued to refine the design, eventually learning how to solder and fuse metals. For a person, who when in the kitchen cooks hot bubbling items with a full on fire repellant outfit in order to avoid getting even the most minor burns, it feIt thrilling to wield a gas burning torch!
While taking weekend classes at the Jewelry Arts Institute in New York City in 2012, I relearned what I had taught myself to do back at Wesleyan. I deconstructed the pieces originally made from craft wire and learned how to recreate the continuous loop effect by layering the metals, soldering or fusing as I went.
The essence of continuous movement is not lost in the integration of 3D printing into my process in 2014. As a person who loves all kinds of jewelry adornment, I want to give wearers light weight pieces that are distinctive and can be easily enveloped within your personal style.
