| Handmade Silver Jewelry There is something truly special about handmade silver jewelry. Wearing it is like wearing your own personal piece of original art. If you'd like to spice up your wardrobe with a unique accessory, visit the Art by Molly online store. Every piece you see is lovingly handcrafted and one of a kind, a true work of art for you to wear and enjoy! Why Choose Handmade Silver Jewelry? Much of the silver jewelry today is machine produced rather than handmade. This often results in a lower quality product, depending on the manufacturing method, and it definitely does not result in anything unique! If you take a close look at this kind of jewelry, it's easy to see that it doesn't have that special "spark" that you'll find in handmade pieces. Mass produced jewelry is far removed from the original inspiration of the artist and definitely loses something in the translation, whereas a handmade piece is often one of a kind, a real treasure. Handmade silver jewelry is not only unique, it is made to last by practiced craftspeople. Your handmade piece from Art by Molly will last a long time if cared for properly, so perhaps you can pass it on to a loved one someday. Caring for your silver jewelry is simple; just be sure to wear it carefully, and store it in a soft-lined container to keep it from being scratched. When worn lovingly, the way it was made, your silver jewelry will stay beautiful for years to come. Molly gets inspiration for her jewelry designs from her world travels and from her home in the Arizona desert. Whether you choose an Art Deco inspired piece or a funky, fun design, Molly's jewelry will liven up any outfit and make you the center of attention. Think of your handmade design as wearable art; a way to express yourself and to add a little beauty to your day! Fine Silver Jewelry Fine silver jewelry is a joy to wear as well as a joy to behold. Silver's cool, mellow glow has appealed to our sense of beauty since the ancient Egyptians began working with it nearly 3,000 years ago. Today, there is plenty of silver jewelry out there to choose from, but truly fine work can be difficult to find. If you want to add some wearable art to your wardrobe, visit the Art by Molly website. You'll find many examples of fine silver jewelry to fit every taste and style, and we add new designs every month! What is Fine Silver Jewelry? If you want to invest in fine silver jewelry, be sure you look at its silver content. Much of today's silver jewelry is actually sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent metal alloy. The alloy is added to make the silver harder, because pure silver is soft and scratches easily. While sterling silver is more durable than pure silver, it loses the warm, mellow look of the more pure metal. All of Molly's designs are made with 99.9 percent pure fine silver, so whatever piece you choose will be of heirloom quality. In addition to using fine silver in her designs, Molly also incorporates exquisite gemstones found on her travels into her work. Jade from Thailand and carnelian from Russia have found their place in Molly's work, as well as jasper, turquoise, coral and other beautiful materials. The exotic, colorful quality of these stones highlight the cool sheen of the silver, making for truly stunning designs you'll want to wear every day. Fine silver jewelry makes the perfect gift, and it's a great way to treat yourself! With a little common-sense care, fine silver jewelry will last a lifetime, bringing a spark of joy every time it's worn. Silver is versatile, it can be worn with everything from casual to formal wear and will add drama to any outfit. Take a look at Molly's website today; you're sure to find something that's perfect for a friend, loved one, or for yourself! Contemporary Silver Jewelry You've probably noticed that silver jewelry is very popular these days. Many people are attracted to its versatility; silver goes with just about anything, and makes a statement whether you're at lunch with friends or out for an evening on the town. Contemporary silver jewelry comes in a wide range of styles and designs, from clean and simple to downright funky. Whatever your personal style, you're sure to find a way to complement it with a piece from Art by Molly. Make a Statement with Contemporary Silver Jewelry Each Art by Molly design is handcrafted, making them a special addition to any collection. Molly derives inspiration from a number of different sources; her travels, the landscape of her Arizona home, and jewelry traditions and combines them into unique contemporary pieces that are works of wearable art. Molly has also been inspired by strong, unique women like Zelda Fitzgerald and Frida Kahlo, and she sees her jewelry as a way to help other women express their own individuality in a beautiful way! All of Molly's designs are made with fine silver that is 99.9 percent pure. She achieves many of her unique designs and textures using a cutting edge jewelry material called Precious Metal Clay, or PMC. PMC is essentially a pliable binder in which microscopic particles of a precious metal, in this case silver, are suspended. The PMC can be shaped in ways that would be difficult or impossible to do with the metal itself, making it an extremely versatile material. Once the desired shape is achieved, the PMC is heated to a very high temperature, burning away the binder and leaving only the silver, fused into the desired shape. In this way, Molly is able to create unique and dynamic designs that you won't find anywhere else. Every month, Molly adds exciting new designs to her jewelry collections. Whether you're looking for a gift for a loved one or for your own personal statement piece, you're sure to find just the thing from Molly. Ordering from her website is easy and secure, or you can order by phone if you choose. Any piece you select is sure to become an instant classic, giving you years and years of wearing pleasure! |
