Sugilite and Diamond Necklace by Jenny Foulkes

Jewelry is sacred. It's our family history, passing down from generation to generation. It's our expression to the world. It's our personal talisman, holding memories, lending security. Jewelry tells the story of who we are and who we have been. I am driven to make work that is elegant and unique. Each piece I create with my own hands using traditional metalsmithing techniques. Each stone is carefully chosen. Each ring, bracelet, pendant, and pair of earrings is one-of-a- kind. I join reticulated darkened sterling silver with the rich yellow of 18 and 22 karat gold to create jewelry that is both fine and precious, yet earthy and warm: jewelry that recalls the past, yet is truly contemporary.
