Hellebore statement bronze earring with oxidized finish, cubic zirconia accents and gold filled ear wire; 2 inches.
Julie has a love affair with the dark black Hellebore flowers in her yard. The earring version has the same sense of awe with its oxidized finish and bronze and stone studded stamen.
Influenced by 20th century sculptors Noguchi, Calder, and Brancusi who drew their inspiration from primitive ethnic form and crafts, Julie’s work in jewelry has similar roots. Her pieces are about possibilities for layering and stacking to create one-of-a-kind collages or small sculptures that uniquely juxtapose disparate elements with simple elegance.
