Beautiful Hand Made Silver Jewelry from Saltspring Island

Beautiful Hand Made Silver Jewelry from Saltspring Island  

Alvaro Sanchez was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he studied design, music and architecture.

 

 

Since leaving Argentina he has lived in almost every country in Latin America until 1990 when he established residence on Saltspring Island, British Columbia. As a self-taught silversmith Alvaro has gathered influences, techniques and inspiration from the ancient and contemporary art of the many cultures he has been immersed in.

His artistic jewellery style has an urban Latin flavour. Using precious metals and natural gems, Alvaro creates beautiful, fine jewellery that is both stylish, unique and very comfortable to wear.

 

You can see much more of Alvaro's beautiful work at Side Street Studio.

JESSIE PHOENIX – Expanding the Concept of Jewelry

Posted on July 29, 2015 by Sue Hayes | 0 comments

JESSIE PHOENIX JEWELRY

GOLD & SILVER WINGED HEART BRACELET

My work expands the concept of jewelry as simple adornment to one that encompasses self-expression and purpose.

MINI GOLD & SILVER HEART PENDANT

All things worn can have meaning. We need meaning to fulfill life and create balance, both within, and between, the individual, the community, and the natural world. Jewelry, when created and worn with intention has the ability to empower and connect us with our deeper selves.

GOLD & SILVER OPEN HEART EARRINGS

Creating unique jewelry that encourages people’s individuality and connection to truth, nature and beauty is what guides my innovation and fuels my creative fire.

Originally from the islands of BC’s West Coast, I have now returned to my roots in the Comox Valley after some time in the city. I received my diploma in Jewelry Art and Design in 2000 and have since studied at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, as well as with local art teachers.
