We are very excited to be carrying this lovely line by Denise Disharoon.
Denise’s jewelry is inspired by organic forms found throughout the natural world and by the most basic, elemental shapes. She seeks to filter the complexity of patterns repeated in nature and architecture to the essence of single shapes. Denise approaches her jewelry from a sculptural perspective with the intent of endowing each piece with a sense of simplicity, elegance and balance.
All pieces are hand crafted from Sterling silver to create both simple and complex works in a wide variety of styles.
Denise began working with metals on a large scale creating sculptures of cast bronze and iron in 1991. Interest in other cultures lead her to travel and live throughout Europe and Latin America. There she studied the concept of jewelry as a global, creative expression through a functional art form. Denise explored the techniques of small-scale metal working during her apprenticeship under a master goldsmith of Hamburg, Germany. She cultivated her own style in this detailed, hands on approach and began designing a line of wearable works of art. Fusing her perspective of natural elements and architectural forms, Denise Disharoon’s oeuvre of delicate geometric and organic jewelry emerged.
Each hand-forged piece is created by manipulating raw metal into shape—first through heat, then by hammering. The piece is then finished with a glass brushed technique that transforms the “high polished” look of the metal into an elegant finish.
