Spring Radiolaria
6.6 x 3.26 x 0.8 cm
11.4 carats of cushion cut peach and green tourmaline
titanium and stainless steel
on necklace of sterling silver and stainless steel

"Spring Radiolaria" brooch/necklace began as an enlarged hand drawing of a microscopic creature. Mental deconstructing the zooplankton during the hand drawing phase, I morphed the creatures into flat layers which would rebuild as a 3D form. CAD software ingested the layer drawings and was used to further modify and output individual layer files for a laser cutting machine. Each rough-cut titanium layer was hand shaped, textured, and finished. The zooplankton was rebuilt with 11.4 carats of tension set peach and green tourmalines.

The patinated sterling silver necklace is jointed with stainless steel fasteners. The brooch pin stem slides through integrated loops in the necklace. The pin stem refastens on the back of the brooch once hung on the necklace.

Summer and the colors of water
clear blue tropical seas
crisp clear mountain streams
cool rivers of moss filled rocks
marshland waters full of life
waterfalls

The inspiration for this pair of creatures came from the microscopic sea life drawings of Ernst Haeckel. Modified as so many creatures are by the hands or presence of humans. 10.6 ct Rose cut tourmalines tension set in Argentium sterling silver. Stainless steel fasteners. Niobium ear wires.

Although similar to a previous pair, each pair makes their own statement.

Earrings headed to @ZFolio Gallery in Monterey California for the Embrace exhibit + sale which begins Nov 18, 2022 and runs until Jan 8, 2023

Circogonia-Epibulia have a patina on the forward facing silver layer, framing parts of the other 2 layers of silver.

7.5 cm H x 3.3 cm W x 0.7 cm D
0.13 oz each

Argentium sterling silver, stainless steel fasteners and niobium ear wires.

Hand drawn, laser cut, and hand finished

The earrings pair well with the Circogonia-Epibulia necklace/brooch. The earring layers are the size I intended for the design. The larger brooch/pendant size was a happy accident and is now one of my favorite pieces.

The Circogonia-Epubulia design began with hand drawings based on Ernst Haeckel’s 1862 illustrations of microscopic sea creatures. Mental deconstruction of the zooplankton during the hand drawing phase morphed the creatures into flat layers which would later become a 3D form. CAD software ingested the layer drawings and was used to further modify and output individual layer files for a laser cutting machine. Each rough-cut sterling silver layer was hand shaped, textured, and finished before the Radiolaria was rebuilt with industrially produced stainless steel screws and nuts. Argentium is a low tarnish sterling silver alloy.

CH Müller Rose Cut Tourmaline Earrings

6.9 x 3.5 x 0.4 cm, 0.21 oz each

10.01 ct Tension Set Rose Cut Tourmalines, Argentium Sterling Silver, Stainless Steel, Niobium Ear Wires

See and try on these earrings in person @rrevv gallery, Santa Cruz, California where they are available to purchase. rrevv is an artist owned gallery on bustling Pacific Ave in the heart of downtown. Gallery hours are Fri – Sat 11 -6, Sun 11-5, and M-F by appointment 415.851.5114

I`d created a prototype version of these lightweight earrings in the past and they`ve been swimming around in the back of my mind. The 10.01 carats of rose cut tourmalines were removed from the prototype pair and can now freely swing from ears. The ear wires are hypoallergenic niobium. Argentium is a low tarnish sterling silver alloy.

The name of the design is taken from its inspiration: a radiolarian in the 1862 publication of microscopic sea creatures by Ernst Haeckel, appropriately titled "Art Forms in Nature`. To accommodate stones, I modified the creature as I redrew the Collosphaera Huxleyi Müller, digitized the drawing, modified it again in CAD and sent the file to a laser cutter to be cut in 30 gauge argentium sterling silver. The texturing and hand finishing includes burnishing each `setting` location by hand on both sides of the metal section to increase the light bouncing through the stones.

The beautiful Smithsonite and aurichalcite in colors of the sea come from the land locked Kelly Mine area in the mountains of New Mexico.

Titanium off-cuts from motorsports racing were laser cut into Radiolaria shapes and, along with stainless steel fasteners, the 3 layers trap the stones.

On a visit years ago, I found the stones in a great rock shop in Magdalena. I`d taken cardboard cutouts of the metal shapes because I knew I wanted to create this brooch/pendant with stones from the area.

The siphonophorae inspired argentium silver necklace has D shaped rings to convert the brooch into a pendant.

New view of Coral Polyps Floating earrings
.
I decided I need to shake up the views after looking at the Earrings page of sherrycordova.com . I started by taking new photos of 3 pairs; this is one of my favorite arrangements.
Underwater Snowflake Coral polyps float around and articulate while still in their colony to catch plankton. The new view depicts that motion better than the straight on traditional earring view.

FORGE THE FUTURE EXHIBIT
I`m honored and thrilled to have a detail photo of my brooch/necklace Circogonia-Epibulia II on Siphonophorae Necklace as the image used for the show poster.

The future is here — the "Forge the Future” members` exhibit that is! And it is a stunning show with exceptionally fine metal art jewelry and sculptures. Additionally, there are two special cases full of mid-century modern metal art by MAG’s founding members from the private collection of Forrest L Merrill and the permanent collection of the Metal Arts Guild. They truly Forged the Future for today`s MAG artists.

OPENING RECEPTION
Saturday October 9 | 1pm-5pm

The exhibition + sale opens this Saturday ACCI Gallery in Berkeley, California and there is a rolling reception from 1pm to 5pm.
In order to accommodate COVID precautions, they`ve divided the reception into one-hour blocks which will feature a selection of the participating artists. The gallery hopes this will reduce the tendency for everyone to show up at the beginning and allow for more of a relaxed flow of visitors throughout the day, but feel free to attend during any hour of the reception.The time slot for my guests is from 1 – 2 pm.

This is a joint show between Metal Arts Guild SF, Northern California Enamel Guild and ACCI Gallery.
"MAG is so excited for our 70th Anniversary Exhibition, Forge the Future, which showcases not only the great work of the SF Bay Area metals community, but this year will also celebrate the founding members of the Metal Arts Guild. Come see not to be missed mid-century pieces by MAG founders such as Margaret De Patta, merry renk, Carl Jennings, and Peter Macchiarini will be on view from MAG
