Jewelry by Cynthia Del Giudice

Cynthia Del Giudice says, "I am an American metalsmith and jewelry artist who lives in the Argentine Pampas surrounded by grasslands as far as the eye can see....I design, form, hammer, saw, solder, file, and polish my pieces in sterling silver, copper, brass, as well as other non-conventional materials such as fused plastic. I strive to create unique, organic, and minimalistic jewelry." She does some pretty incredible, one-of-a-kind metal pieces; my favorite ones are her mixed-metal work. The flower ring (left) is made with copper and sterling silver with a verdigris patina. The Plenilunio (or moon) Ring (below) is made with fused sterling silver and copper (fusing silver and copper into a brass creates this other-planet-like texture). Even though I love Del Giudice's metal work, I also admire her fused plastic pieces. Below (right) is a choker with plastic flower which features a cultured peacock pearl and some vintage velvet. Looking at this piece, you would never know that the flower is made from a plastic bag.

Hi Jullian,

I'm getting into metal work, too. I like the green patina of the ring and its simplicity.
