Super Nova: Sheffield's Jewelry Instructor

We can’t help it: we’ve got to brag about the talents of Nova Colette Bronstein, our firecracker of an instructor in what’s proving to be the best online Course in Jewelry Design ---the one offered here at the Sheffield School, of course! Nova’s work is thoroughly contemporary, wending along the border between the soft and the rough, the sharp-edged and the gently curved.

They’re a unique expression of seemingly conflicting elements that nevertheless not only live together in harmony, but which create a dynamic, compelling expression.

We’re so proud to be working with Nova, that we just had to let you know! You can see more of her work in person at the Museum of Art and Design in New York. One of her latest pieces on display include the silver heart earrings below.

I love the earrings. My daughter is working at creating her own style, although 13. Some don't look at jewelry makers as artists but there is an obvious connection.
Great work.

What can I say? these designs are very glamorous and elegant. I've also been trying to create sites based on fine jewelry and I stumbled upon this one. I was also thinking to gather sites that cater to thie category for my directory. Please do reply if you're interested. Thanks!

I love Bronstein's work. The contrast between the gem stones and the harder edged lines of the silver provide a very dynamic finished effect. I would gladly purchase a piece like this to be admired and as a sound financial investment.

Day in and day out, we're inundated with sounds: at the mall, in the car, at home, even on the street corner. Music is more a part of our daily lives than at any other point in history. Yet we expect people to devote two hours of their day to pure listening, sitting quietly, and politely applauding at the end of a piece. This has its place, but it doesn't have to be the steadfast rule.
I love the accessories.

continued to make jewelry, sculpture, knit items and clothing.
Nova moved to New York in 2006 to pursue her BFA
in metalsmithing at the State University of New York in New Paltz. Nova now makes her own jewelry line in her Brooklyn studio and just completed a residency in the Open Studio program at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City.

I recently just found out if you want to make money you need to sell jewelry or beads. I have been in different field for long time and now am considering going in the jewelry business. Hard to believe but from what people are saying on your site jewery is out there to be purchased for fun or to make a profit. Thanks Robert F

I really like your work is mainly for necklace and earrings. The designs are very impressive, in fact the basic ingredients of what you used to create various accessories such. I wanted to follow the course and want to make my own work. Your post is very inspiring at all.
