This competion is sponsored by SNAG, the Society of North American Goldsmiths -- don't be fooled by the name, which has become outdated and has been in discussion for change for some time now-- most work that gets recognized here is very unconventional, often asking the question "what is jewelry?" So go ahead and step up to the challenge and show your own answer!
A beautiful and delicate example of this king of work is Memento (shown Left) by Rebecca Barton. To see more of her ephemeral and nature inspired work click here!
This is the perfect competion for some of your out-of-the-box pieces! Let your imagination be your guide here and it will likely be rewarded!
