Amy Tavern, metalsmith
I love jewelry but I’m a total minimalist when it comes to wearing it. If I’m wearing a necklace, I generally don’t wear earrings and vice versa. I also have an irrational fear of wearing a matching earrings and necklace set…yikes! But, thanks to Amy Tavern, I don’t need psychotherapy in order to wear any of her pieces. If you visit her website, you will see for yourself that her collections are a brilliant example of studied, modern simplicity.
Every component in her work is handmade, from her hammered circles, to the tiny balls placed on those circles. No two pieces are truly alike so you are getting a true ‘original’ from the artist/metalsmith herself.
You can choose from five collections on her shop page: Signature, Preface, Layered, Egg and Bean and Steel and Gold (my ab-so-lute favorite)!
Her SIGNATURE collection is a combination of her most popular, original pieces. I think this necklace is so great for everyday, subtle yet unique:

great find Lori! I also love the simplicity of this necklace but that it is interesting enough to stand alone
i agree with julieann—really great find! my favorite pieces on the website were the horizontal diskis necklace and the preface wire line earrings.
oh, and the wedding rings were really unique….something to keep in mind over the next year!
