My name is André.
I have been designing
jewelry on and off for the past 30 years or so. During the years I
have seen many evolutions in tools, designs and materials. What used
to take 2 to 3 days is done now in hours.
It created the ability of working faster, better while keeping
prices at the lowest possible for work of art that is one of a kind
and hand made. The best thing is that you can supply me with any of
your charms, curios, baby hair, medallions, photos and anything you
may want encased in clear or colored polyester.
Everything I create is 100%
original art and craft, as mentioned in many places my pieces are
one of a kind, there will never be a double anywhere in the world!
Many people are very
surprised by the originality, the weightlessness of my pieces and
most of all; the prices!
Some of the things I
created are:
Necklaces, key chains, refrigerator magnets, paperweights, ornaments
and more...
This process of encasing anything into clear or colored plastics has
been around at least for 50 years or more. In the 70's it was very
fashionable and popular with flowers, batik (tie-dye), hand painted,
silver, gold, old diamonds, rocks, precious rocks and semi
precious... even broken colored glass.
Today I work mostly with broken and custom jewelry and Cameos from
around the world and special mementos people kept in boxes and
drawers for years. This way they can re-enjoy these pieces again in
a fashionable way created to their taste and order and be assured
that it will always be ONE OF A KIND!
You can find and recognize
my work around the globe, in places like Canada, Israel,
England, Peru, Japan, the Philippines, Germany and in the United
States; in 33 out of the 50 states. From friends to
celebrities, they all enjoy my one of a kind creations and wear them
with pride. (No need to "Name-Drop")
Next time you are at the
movies, watching a show on TV or the news, pay attention to the
jewelry they are wearing.
All the women that got at least one... You are in great company!!!
Thank you for reading so
far.
André.
