IKStuart Designs on Artfire

As a member of the ArtFire Metalsmiths Guild, I have the opportunity to share with and learn from some incredibly talented metalsmiths. I.K. Stuart is one artist in this group whose work I really admire. Her one of a kind jewelry is stunning. She has a great eye for stones. Some of my favorite pieces are ones where the stone is the centerpiece, set off by her simple, elegant, and beautifully crafted silverwork.

These beautiful earrings are a perfect example. The gorgeous agates are held in beautiful, simple silver bezels. The craftsmanship is impeccable.

One of Iris' (the I. of I.K. Stuart) signature pieces is this fabulous pendant. The center feature of this wonderful pendant is a red Sonora Sunset cabochon. It is am amazing stone that Iris describes in detail in her listing.
