There is now a brand new collection available to you at the Albuquerque Museum Store. It’s called the “Opulence” Collection.
All of the pieces in it are inspired by a larger piece that I created for the 2018 Artsthrive Exhibition and benefit. I decided to make an entire series perpetuating a similar aesthetic, due to the original piece being met with such a great response.
Here is a video where I unveiled the original Opulence piece to my Insiders before the exhibition:
I designed the collection to be feminine, bold and alive with motion. The pieces have a light feel to them and they are bright with color and contrast.
The earrings shown below are a few of the items on display. The purple stones are amethyst, the green stones are apatite and the pink are pink tourmaline. So all the stones used in this collection, except for the opal in the large piece, are faceted. Consequently the pieces catch even more light and brightness.
As a result the brightness of the stones provides more contrast with the dark grey/black patinated effect on the understructures and chain links.
Stone Setting Techniques
All of the stones are set with my signature bound-in-place techniques, and they include pink tourmaline, apatite, amethyst, tanzanite, emerald and Ethiopian opal.
Right now there are only eight of these collection pieces available, alongside one large one of a kind necklace. Most of them range between $100 – $200, and they are definitely something that you are not going to find anywhere else.
Stop by the museum store to appreciate the detail of this collection up close, feel the pieces in your hands and try something on in person.
