SES Design Jewelry, Now Available Online

I am excited to report that SES Design Jewelry has a new, and finally functional, website. It's been a long journey, but with the right help from Clikwiz, a web design company, my work is available for purchase online in a safe and easy to use environment. You will find some new work on the site and as I continue to upload more jewelry I hope you will check back. Also, consider visiting SES Design Jewelry's Facebook page. I hope you "Like" it!

Star Sculptures By John Kostick

These delightful Star Sculptures are the work of John Kostick. "The abstract lines that define geometric forms are indicated by actual physical parts that interact synergetically," says the designer. "Thus symmetry and structural integrity are the results of the assemblage of simple linear components, tension and compression, push and pull." See link above or Design Within Reach

I'm pleased to announce SES Design Jewelry has been socially networked. It's official. There is now a SES Design Jewelry page on Facebook. Visit the Facebook page for a pictorial history and access to purchasing information. Like the page for periodic SES Design Jewelry updates or subscribe to a monthly email newsletter.

Back to Basics, SES Design Jewelry

After a big move and a search for new studio space, I am unpacked and starting back to work. It's a modest start but I happy to be back to basics. Work available on line.

Setting A Modern Table

If you love clean lines and graceful design look to china and flatware from the mid-century for inspiration. Pott 86 Silver Flatware originally designed by Josef Hoffman in 1955 and Rosenthal Studio Line TAC dinnerware and tea set originally designed by Walter Gropius in 1969. From R Gallery, 20th Century.

The Hive And Coral Table Bench

These amazing coral and hive tables will be the envy of anyone who enters your living room or back patio. It makes a beautiful coffee table of can be placed outside as an unique bench. Made from powder coated steel and cut with precise lasers its strength is paired with a contemporary elegance that is unparalleled.

Aerial Mobileo

This oversized stainless steel mobile is a constantly changing work of art as the polished steel panels catch the breeze. It spans 60" wide by 36" tall and costs only $174. Amazing!

Beth Campbell Mobiles

Beth Campbell is currently showing her latest series of mobiles at the Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery in Chelsea. Campbell is an inter-disciplinary artist committed to enhancing our awareness and perception of space through her intriguing objects and installations. Her hanging mobiles have a delicacy and gravity that become increasingly compelling as you notice their subtle movement. They are composed of steel wire of various diameters, lending a thread-like quality to some, while others seem heavier and more ponderous. As a silversmith I find this work very interesting.

Neri Steel Vases

These Neri vases are beautifully shaped and made of black steel. They can function as art as much as usable objects. Use alone or in a variety of shapes as shown above. Designed by Giovanni d'Ambrosio.

Aswoon

This stunning work comes from Aswoon. Artistic room dividers and partitions, screens in metal designed and fabricated by Susan Woods for Aswoon. So natural in form, the metal springs create huge impact in any space!

iPod Island Hub

In contrast with the popular trend toward minimalist high-tech gadgets, a feature exemplified by Apple, this iPod-Island Hub is spacially demanding. The face of the hub features the quote, "The music was new black polished chrome and it came over the summer like liquid night," from Turkish Bazaar, a song by Emmanuel Tops, that loops on the accompanying iPod. This one-of-a-kind piece includes one Apple iPod Nano and a JBL sound station with remote control. It goes on the auction block at Wright in Chicago on March 30, 2008. Designed by Ingo Strobel and Katja Hiendmayer

Brian Neidermayer

Brian Neidermayer is, without a doubt, one of my most admired metal smiths. His work is so unique in theme, combining natural elements with modern forms and elegant shapes. His use of gold accents and brushed silver finishes is a stunning combination. Having worn several of Brian's pieces, I love the weight of them. He does not skimp on his metal, giving his jewelry such a solid presence. With each link, bubble and spike hand formed with great care, I hope one day to achieve such mastery. His work is available through Four Winds Gallery.

Metalsmith Catherine Chandler

Chatherine Chandler is a metalsmith and designer with a fabulous eye for form and line. Her work uses rich metals and patinas and is quite sublime. Check out more at her online store.
