Charuau’s polymer galaxy

by Cynthia Tinapple on July 16, 2010 · 6 comments

Céline Charuau’s new polymer “Beetles” cabochons with oxidized silver settings have a cross-century Mad Max look inspired by the work of jeweler Joanna Gollberg.

It’s refreshing when artists name their sources and even better when one medium affects another and moves it in a new direction.

Celine combines organic forms with metal in unusual ways. This year she seems to have moved from wire wrapping and stitching to prongs and bezels. Her polymer gems look like objects from another galaxy. Have a stellar weekend!

LOVE the colors. Those “donut” shaped pendants are really cool. They look like glazed pottery – yummy!
