Ann Bosek - Artisan Jewelry Designs
Necklaces, earrings, bracelets
and more.
Each piece in my jewelry collection is created by
hand from conception to completion. I design pieces of on-trend,
wearable art using my own metalwork combined with natural gemstones,
freshwater pearls, leather and precious metal chain and beads.
My metal work is handcrafted using precious metal
clay (reclaimed silver and copper known as PMC) which begins with
creating a texture, many of which I make using buds, leaves and
herbs or some which I have carved my own drawings into blocks to use
again. I then cut and shape the PMC by hand, sand it meticulously
when dry and fire the pieces in a hot kiln which burns out the
organic binder leaving pure, precious metal as the finished product.
The final step in this process is hand polishing each piece of
silver or copper before I work it into one of my designs.
