Meet Shirley Price...

"My passion for jewelry design and fabrication began by taking classes at a local Fine Arts Center. I continued on with courses in fabrication at three local colleges and the Revere Goldsmith School in San Francisco.

Each of my limited editions is fabricated exclusively by me with a unique sense of design. This sense of design melds contemporary with the best of heritage delivering pieces that are commanding when viewed, dramatic when worn. All of my pieces are named for a virtue such as "grace, gratitude, joy, happiness & peace which project our intentions, the essence of these words resonate within and without and embrace our way of communication with ourselves and the world. Powerful wisdom."

"Fine silver is incorporated within the bezels, backs, links, spacers and hand woven collars. I use only the most interesting cabochons which are random cut, free forms and are hand polished from various jaspers, turquoise and agate. My single pearl trademark adds a unique enhancement to each design. They all come in anti tarnish bags with photo and complete description, and are stamped with artist name.

"My designs express the visual and emotional relationship between silver and stones, thereby establishing the best possible marriage of the two. Each collar, necklace, and pendant is three dimensional, museum quality. Each is a unique work of art. Currently my collections are being sold in Galleries & Museum Shops across the USA and Canada. I have won numerous awards from within the USA."
