Artist Bio:
Out Of The Box Gifts - Artist Profile
Fine jewelry designed and handmade by Laurette O'Neil
Unique earrings, pendants, brooches, necklaces and rings.
"I am the constant apprentice. I
have traveled the world studying my craft and collecting skills and inspiration;
The American Southwest inspired me to incorporate gems and minerals into my designs.
Alaska showed me how to work with fossilized walrus and to explore and use their
native arts and earthiness in my jewelry. Berlin taught me how to handle silver
and 18-carat gold. Stockholm gave me a lesson in titanium and Poland introduced
me to the necessity of good design."
Laurette brings these skills
together at her studio in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she continues to study and
expand her collection. "My main objective is to keep the design simple and
clean, she says. "My work draws people in because of its pure and idyllic
spirit."
Laurette O'Neil creates award winning jewelry sculpture
that you can wear. Clean lines and a seeming simplicity define her jewelry. But
in reality, her pieces are anything but simple. They're a collaboration of
minds, cultures and eras that have defined Laurette's artistry over the past
three decades.
