jewelry collection by sandra lill
| I entered this world at an early age possessed of an unrelenting, insatiable curiosity. I believe this to be my most prized possession. Throughout my life, this curiosity has led me in many directions—the most recent being that of jewelry creation. As an Oregon-grown, lifelong Nor‘westerner, there is much to be curious about! Hence, the gift to seek and “see”.
My jewelry has its genesis in the small, homely, and natural detritus of everyday being. I use natural materials—stones, jaspers, semiprecious gems, coral and turquoise. These natural materials all integrated with many types of fibers, sterling and organic strands. In addition, I collect and use vintage beads and glass from Europe dating from the 1930’s through the 1960’s. These once homely and natural individuals become beautiful pieces of Jewelry. Schooled at the University of Oregon (in journalism), the Art Institute of Seattle and much course work over the years, I find my greatest satisfaction and pleasure in creating pieces that are less decorative and more ornamental—reflective of and an homage to our grand and humble surroundings. These pieces are timeless, providing enjoyment and topic of conversation for years to come. To see the entire collection, contact me at 360-665-4807. I love finding out your style and color favorites so the jewelry reflects you. |
