Browse the work of jeweler Nancy Krahn at Illinois Artisans, Chicago this month. "My jewelry designs are executed in various metalsmithing techniques of hand fabrication or construction.The materials I use include 14 karat rose and yellow gold,precious, semiprecious and ornamental gemstones. Often the jewelry medium is thought of as only a craft. I find great satisfaction in combining the expressiveness of an artist with the technical skills of a craftsman.My designs are lyrical- an influence from my father, a classical musician. The flowery and organic lines reflect my feminine side.There is a "nod" to Art Nouveau and Art Deco in my style, a tribute to my Grandmother. The high polish and geometric forms are reflections of the age we live. It is the combination of these elements, built into 3-D wearable sculpture, that make my work uniquely my own."
