Envy - To Covet and Desire

The beginning of August marked the first juried art show to be hosted at 18Karat, and we were thrilled by not only the beautiful pieces that were included in the collection, but also the artists who were so interested in participating.

As with every juried show: the results are in.

Anonymous said...: The design of the second necklace is really interesting. It's a nice mix of different shapes, sizes, and colors. But I think the necklace that my sister gave to her husband for his birthday was more interesting. You see, he's a mechanic, so she made him a necklace that speaks of his profession. She used different types of miniature nuts and bolts made of nickel alloys, and she hung them on a chain made of copper alloys. It sounds awful, but the way she made it was really artful. My brother-in-law loved it!; January 5, 2011 at 10:24 PM
