More about the Artist:
\n\nAbout ten years ago\, I was introduced to jewelry-making by a dear friend\, who gifted me with a simple\, but elegant wrap-around bracelet. She offered to teach me how to make one &ndash\; and I was hooked!
\n\nI have since designed jewelry using several techniques\, including stringing\, chain maille\, knotting\, wire wrapping\, weaving and more.
\n\nWeaving is decidedly my favorite! Using needle and &ldquo\;thread&rdquo\;\, I literally sew the beads together\, sometimes making a simple design and then embellishing it with other beads\, crystals\, or pearls &ndash\; many times using two needles in a right-angle weave pattern. Weaving on a loom is another technique I enjoy. The necklaces displayed here are Japanese Kumihimo braiding with a blown-glass pendant.
\n\nPerhaps this love of weaving is in my genes as both my mother and grandmother were seamstresses and always seemed to have a needle and thimble going!
\n\nMy jewelry is custom-designed and made\, so if you see something you like\, but would prefer another color or size or material\, contact me. I often re-design and make jewelry from pieces in my customers&rsquo\; jewelry boxes that is heirloom or unworn because it just isn&rsquo\;t right for some reason. Together\, we&rsquo\;ll make it right!
\n\nI&rsquo\;m happiest when I can design and make something unique and special\, just for you!
\n\nKatherine Jasmine is a jeweler located in Shirley\, MA.
