New Jewelry Artists

The Philadelphia Buyer's Market of American Craft turned out to more than just a chance to catch up with our favorite jewelry artists. We also gathered tons of information and we're excited to introduce 3 new jewelry artists to our collection.

First up is Ananda Khalsa. All of Ananda's jewelry features a unique, original painting under glass, in either sterling silver or 22K gold. With images like maple trees in spring and autumn, violets, dragonflies, ravens, and bluebirds, Ananda's delicate jewelry is perfect for the art lover in all of us. Since each piece is unique, it truly is your own wearable work of art. Check out the Raven Petal Necklace at left for a sneak peek. Look for Ananda's jewelry in the gallery and in our online shop sometime mid-March.


We're also very excited for new work by Belle Brooke. Handmade in Los Angeles, Belle's work features sterling silver, gold, precious and semi-precious stones in creative settings. Belle uses small tubes that are then soldered in singular batches to create the patterned circles in each piece of her work. With simple pendants, plus more intricate work, like the lariat at right, make Belle Brooke's designs unlike any other. Look for Belle's work at the gallery soon. With a variety of styles and stones, there is definitely something for everyone.

Last but not least is Maine-based jewelry artist Martha Sullivan. Her jewelry incorporates sterling silver, gold, precious stones, and pearls and each piece is stamped with one of her signature Martha Sullivan patterns. With pattern names like joy, sticks and stones, leaf, oval, spiral, and oval oval, the pattern on the jewelry adds a little something extra to her designs. Her simple, elegant designs are perfect for everyday, but can easily be dressed up for a night out. Check out the two rings below - they're both a part of our order and should be in the gallery by the end of March.
