Amethyst Vine Bracelet
Sterling silver wire and cast elements with 14K gold accents, set with a large cabochon amethyst, faceted amethysts, and cubic zirconia.
Prices are listed with the pieces on the Gallery pages and of course I welcome selling my work, but this site serves primarily as a public showcase for my art work, rather than it being an online store. After giving it much thought, I have intentionally not posted a shop link on this site. If you are interested in buying any of the pieces featured on my site, I welcome receiving an email from you. My email address is: aaronrosenbloom.art@gmail.com. The act of selling my work (especially the major pieces) ought to be a personal exchange. I greatly prefer personal contact over impersonally receiving an “order notification.”
What Is Wearable Art?
Jewelry has traditionally functioned primarily as body adornment, as religious symbols or symbols of wealth and power. Starting in the late 1930s, metals artists around the World began exploring the creation of stand-alone pieces of art/sculpture that could also be worn. Some were (are) more practical to wear than others. I refer to my work as wearable art because from the simple to the complex, every piece is conceived around a concept, statement, or event that tells a story, subject to interpretation. That interpretation may also change depending upon whether the piece is seen on or off the body. My goal is to make pieces of art that are wearable (and affordable), while speaking to both the hearts of the person wearing the work and the people viewing them.
