Amazing Artistry

 I still marvel and wonder at the creative process that takes place in the imagination of every artist.  When I discover artisans that are noteworthy, I like to take the opportunity to highlight them and bring attention to their amazing treasures.  I hope you are as impressed and inspired by this woman's designs and artistry as I am.

Introducing Lia Reed Jewelry ....

This is definitely a "Premiere Piece" of museum quality... made with 24 K gold plated Japanese beads, different kinds of Swarovski crystals, rivoli, pearls, man made blue opal, vermeil magnetic clasps made with sterling silver that's heavily electroplated with 18Kt gold.
Size of necklace is 17 inches. Length of necklace 7 inches, width is 7.5 inches.

                                What an amazing Artisan!
She won third place in FMG with her necklace "Fire of Tulip Rebels". She was a finalist of the Swarovski contest that was in 2010 in London, UK, and Bronze winner of Swarovski contest at FMG. Some of her necklaces are the finalists of Firemountaingems company.  She is currently living in Japan with her husband and hopes to return to the United States in the future.

Wow!  This neck piece is made with cat's eye, turquoise cabochons, and Japanese seed beads...Lia has encrusted the choker with bezeled cabochons using seed beads.  It's a symmetrical design with an added surprise... a cascading fringe using turquoise cylinder beads.  This is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship!      

Another favorite is called "Breakfast at Tiffany's".  The necklace above (which also has a matching bracelet) was inspired by the timeless classic,  "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Audrey Hepburn.  Two rows of creamy white glass pearls hold the bezeled oval cabochon in place.  Take notice of the smaller centerpiece below it with it's classic dangling pearl...  This is definitely a classic for any occasion.  The length of this choker is 16 inches.
