Jeanette Payne--Jazart Studio--Fine JewelryArtist's Statement
I have always enjoyed exploring possibilities, experiencing the evolution of ideas, and above all, translating my personal voice into precious metal forms. I strive for uniquely personal pieces that comfortably adorn the body with a graceful, natural and timeless rhythm. I create flowing patterns of intricately undulating textures by wrapping my pieces with 18 karat yellow gold or fine silver and the application of multiple layers of precious metals such as sterling silver, gold, and anodized niobium. Occasionally I will add gemstones, but only if the piece calls for it.
From conception to completion, I personally design and carry out all of the mechanical processes of creating jazart.
