Ann Grundler’s “Silverprint” jewelry where the surface has become a central design element. Imprinted textures range from delicate, featherlike webs to rougher veining which she sets in contrast with each other or with gently curving forged lines. Each piece was created by hand on an individual basis, so no two pieces would be identical. All the creations are hand cut, fabricated and assembled by the artist. The pendant, chain and earrings are in mint condition!
