Being able to create unique jewelry pieces has always been a source of joy, and whenever I can be in my jewelry atelier, I lose my sense of time and “resurface” hours later with a sense of continued purpose and satisfaction. It’s my “happy place”. My sincere hope is that the joy I experience while creating the pieces is shared with you whenever you give or wear them.
About Me
I was born and raised in the beautiful northwest corner of Iowa known as The Iowa Great Lakes, which is home to one of the few natural blue water lakes in the world. At 21, I embraced the opportunity to move to Switzerland after my university studies to build up a new life, settling in the small, bilingual city of Biel/Bienne, where I currently reside with my family. And here too, I am fortunate to live close to the gorgeous Lake of Biel, and not too far away from yet another natural, blue water lake – the small, but breathtaking Blausee.
Therefore, while considering names for my jewelry business, the element of water kept surfacing. For all of us, it is a powerful, unifying, life-giving force, and it simultaneously presents us with challenges to overcome, and in doing so, we continue to grow, and “flow” if you will. Now, if that’s not a metaphor for life, then I don’t know what is.
Bluewater Jewelry is all about acknowledging these forces and challenges and seeks out the beauty that comes from them.
The Jewelry
Resin presents so much flexibility in terms of what can be embedded, which is one of the many reasons I have come to love this medium.
Each piece I handcraft for you is unique. Even when more than one set is created, there are natural variations depending on what is embedded within. For example, you will often see tiny air bubbles which result when resin interacts with natural botanicals and intricate materials such as lace. Additionally, no two flowers, grasses, mosses, or shells are identical.
Lastly, the metal findings I use to finish off the pieces are carefully chosen to avoid as many metal sensitivities as possible. The posts and clasps of the earrings are made of stainless steel, as are the necklaces unless otherwise specified. I occasionally source some of the decorative metallic elements in brass, with gold or silver plating if stainless steel equivalents are unavailable, but that will be explicitly stated in the description of the individual pieces.
