These delicate yet powerfully formed earrings are by Maine jeweller Jayne Redman. They are available in various permutations of sterling silver with yellow gold, and also come in large and small sizes.
About Redman: “Nature provides an endless reference for imagination and invention. The linear quality of stems and the fullness of flower buds inspire my jewelry. I enjoy integrating mechanics with design, allowing each piece to function in a visually intriguing way. I work with multiples of the same shape, engineering them to fit precisely, giving an abstract interpretation of their botanical source. Many years of metalsmithing have taught me the power of simplicity. My forms begin as flat metal shapes and arrive as small sculptures. Their complexity is in their conception as curving planes of origami.”
Jayne Redman earned her B.F.A. in Jewelry and Silversmithing from Maine College of Art in 1977. She began her career in New York as a design and production assistant in the fashion jewelry industry. She started her company, Jayne Redman Jewelry, in 1982.
Jayne began developing the Floraforms™ Collection in 1995. In 1998, Jayne’s Tulip Earrings won the NICHE Award for Silver Jewelry. She was a finalist in the same category for her Sweet Pea Earrings. That year the American Craft Council selected a piece from her collection as “representative of the quality of work found at all ACC events” to use in advertising their wholesale markets
Her work is available at a range of galleries, but does not appear to be available for purchase on her site. There is no price listed.
