Caught on Instagram: Handcrafting the Details of New Art Jewelry Designs | Elysian Studios

I’ve been busy working in the studio on new art jewelry designs.  I’m going back to my first love with jewelry design:

attention to beautiful craftsmanship. 

 In my new jewelry pieces , you will see lots of wire wrapping, detailed beadwork, colorful gemstones and crystals, and handmade artisan beads and components.

Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes in the studio:
