Leanne Emery Medium Artisan Jewelry Email leanne@triskelemoon.com Website www.triskelemoon.com Artist's Statement The components that can be found in my designs are richly diverse – assorted noble and base metals, freshwater pearls and semiprecious stones, chainmaille and Swarovski crystals, rough and polished mineral specimens and precious metal clay. My techniques in creating pieces are also varied, from elaborate wire-wrapping to hand-formed, kiln-fired pendants and rings. When hand-wrapping a stone, it is the shape of the specimen that dictates the style of wrap and adornments. In other words, the stone calls the shots – I am merely the translator for its speech. I purposely work in small volumes and strive to seek out the unusual shapes and beauty of natural stones. This keeps the inventory fresh and my creativity high. It also keeps the work more individualized and truly one of a kind. Price is considered by the quality of the materials, current market value of noble metals (which always fluctuates) and the amount of time spent with a given project. My pieces are a direct inspiration in the celebration of all aspects of life. Remember: We are all meant to be adorned, so enjoy with complete abandon and riotous glee!
