This is how Janice Byrne describes her work. She creates contemporary pieces inspired by raw beauty in nature. Janice likes to work organically with gemstones and precious metals to accentuate their natural beauty. The juxtaposition of raw and cut gemstones with different textures adds a sense of passion to her pieces and integrity to these beautiful materials. When making her jewellery she seeks to uncover the often hidden detail in natural objects and translate it into metal. Each piece is made and finished by hand, with care for a lifetime of wearing.
