Fernworks Jewelry & Thrifty Thursday

December 1st is our thrifty thursday, and we’d like to offer one of our favorite jewelry lines on sale for 25% off.

Fernworks necklaces are like little pieces of artwork hanging from your neck. They make a wonderful gift for the holidays, and anytime. You’ll find that Fernworks jewelry has many tried and true fans, and often times they know exactly what piece they want.

Bird and Vines

Bird and Vines

 Created and designed by Faryn Davis, each hand made individual piece captures a natural beauty in a resin casting, preserving and freezing the small often-unnoticed bits of the world around us.

Faryn Davis’s necklaces are either found objects painstakingly layered like these red strands of dyed fiber encased in resin or designs hand drawn in acrylic and ink on resin, layer-over-layer, as seen with the bird and vines three piece pendant. Each one is then hand cut, and polished then strung on smooth, nylon-coated, flexible steel wire with a pure silver lobster claw clasp.

Since each piece is handmade no two will be exactly a like. The design may be similar but each one will have a subtle uniqueness that will make it all your own.

The pieces are inspired by the world around us, and you cannot help, but to get a sense of wistful youthful peace when looking at her work; a painted red kite flying over the silhouette of a wire fence with wisps of real grass or a hand painted dandelion with bits of its white umbrella seeds floating to grant a wish.

Faryn Davis is not only a jewelry maker, but a fine artist as well, and you can find her art pieces in the G. Gibson Gallery in Seattle, Washington. As much as we would love to carry some of her art pieces we are honored, and delighted to carry these tiny works of art.

A Fernworks design is a piece of jewelry and art to treasure for a lifetime.

That is why we are excited to offer Fernworks on sale for our Thrifty Thursday. Come into the store or purchase one on-line.

*Not all the designs pictured are in the store all at one time, but we often do get similar designs. Come in to see what we have!
