"Carmen Q Hinckle is a Bay Area artist whose jewelry fuses elegance with everyday wearability. "
"In her studio in Mill Valley, California, she hand-forms each original piece using traditional goldsmithing techniques. She also designs furniture, lighting, and architectural elements. Carmen's designs can be interpreted as landscapes in metal, with a richness and depth inspired by nature.
Her intention is to "offer jewelry that encourages each individual to express their creativity through the ancient tradition of adornment."

I stumbled across her jewelry line earlier today.  I must say I am not usually one to rave about things like this, but she has created a line that is stunning.  Her use of color and metal combines a sleek elegance with a hint of casual timelessness.
