SICKA THAN AVERAGE

Ever stared at a beautiful piece of jewelry and wondered about what inspired its creation? That’s what Rebecca Wynne‘s pieces do for me — they incite me to ponder about the books, artwork, music, and natural wonders that functioned as her muse.

There’s a clear respectfulness and wonderment in regards to Mother Nature evident in pieces like the Clover Sapphire Earrings (pictured fourth from top), which feature 18k gold vermeil and three clustered white sapphires (0.12 ct), and the Large Leaf Earrings, available in silver or gold vermeil (pictured at top).

Pieces like the stackable, 18k white gold Eternity Diamond and Sapphire Bands, pictured third from top (available in pink sapphire, yellow sapphire, blue sapphire, champagne diamond, and white diamond), and the 18k white gold Diamond and Sapphire Eternity Bracelets, pictured at top (available in white diamond, yellow sapphire, blue sapphire, and pink sapphire), suggest an admiration for Byzantine mosaics and Venetian glass art.

The White Diamond Cocktail Ring, pictured last from top, and the Linx Bracelet with Black Diamond Details, pictured fourth from top, both convey an appreciation for Gustav Klimt‘s paintings, particularly works like “The Tree of Life” and “Adele Bloch-Bauer II.”

There’s a soulfulness to Wynne’s pieces that makes them all the more special — you can actually imagine her brainstorming designs and giving each piece the necessary TLC. Hers is an artistic approach to jewelry and that’s where the soulfulness lies.
