Welcome Naked Jewelry!


Please welcome our newest member, Naked Jewelry! Naked Jewelry does incredible metalsmithing! Please check out her shop at nakedjewelry.etsy.com . To the right is a silver shibori cuff bracelet. Naked Jewelry writes, "Shibori refers to a Japanese technique for pleating fabric, resulting in beautiful textures and folds. This Naked Jewelry cuff, created by hand-forged manipulation of fine silver, has much the same shibori look...but is an illusion of fabric created from metal. The illusion continues through the use of textured cloth pressed into the silver to make an embossed pattern."
