A few years ago (about 3) I stumbled upon Eni Oken's website. I was enthralled by how she manipulated wire into flowing curves. Her technique is very unique. I purchased as many of her tutorials as I could. (http://www.enioken.com/) Because of her work and easy instructions, I moved away from the "crafty jewelry" that most people start with. I learned the basics from her and took off from there. I searched the web and found other great artists like Magdalena Borejko and Iza Malczyk. (check them out on etsy! They have wonderful tutorials available as well) I see alot of their work imitated almost exactly and other jewelry artisans not giving credit where is due. Which is why this lovely piece is one I am keeping for myself. It was inspired by all three of the above jewelry artisans, and I absolutely love it too much to ever part with it.
The materials I used are as follows: sterling and fine silver, garnet, freshwater pearls, lemon quarts, watermelon tourmaline, and rose quartz.
