I strive to make art accessible to everyone through sculptural jewelry. My work magnifies and explores the structural similarity of biological cells and celestial bodies that repeat themselves in all aspects of our world, from architecture to anthropology.
Inspired by classic jewelry, I create timeless pieces with a twist. The end result is casually elegant - easy to wear by anyone at anytime. Its important for me to employ sustainable practices by using recycled metals, natural conflict-free gemstones, and making everything locally in Chicago. The forging process I use recalls the ancient tradition of metalworking, continuing the history of adornment for generations to come...
Because each piece is made by hand, requests for custom work are welcomed. If you are interested in carrying my work in your store or starting a collection, please contact info@rebeccazemans.com.
