Adrienne Gaskell
My Jewelry Design Philosophy
Fusing traditional and ancient jewelry construction techniques to create designs with an emphasis on a professional finish. Needle weaving with delicate glass beads forms the foundation for my art jewelry, color and texture are my passion. My jewelry designs are created using a mix of glass and metal beads, genuine precious stones, Swarovski® crystals, cultured pearls and other organic materials.
