Karen McCreary Illuminated Jewelry

Karen McCreary, of Long Beach, California, is an artist who makes jewelry using electronically generated light and color. She says, "My pieces are primarily acrylic which is hand carved and fabricated. The carved areas are internally lit or layered with colored lacquers to give a feeling of mystery to the light reflected throughout the acrylic forms." Not surprisingly, her space-age looking pieces have been featured in several Star Trek television shows. "The 'A Question of Stability' necklace (left) and 'Pulse Vector' Brooch' (below) are both made from acrylic plastic, steel and electronics. Pretty amazing and beautiful!
