Colorful Geometric Metal Jewelry
Occasions! welcomes exciting new jewelry artist Diana Christiansen from Florida. Her bracelets, pendants and earrings are hand made with anodized aluminum. Anodized aluminum is very light weight, maintenance free and will not tarnish.

Diana’s career spans decades and includes everything from painting and printmaking to sculpting and fabric design. Her contemporary jewelry collection owes its inspiration to the shapes, patterns, and colors of modern art and architecture.
An electrochemical process is employed to dye the metal and achieve the many different colors seen in her designs. Once the aluminum is dyed and sealed, the color becomes permanent and is part of the metal itself. Diana then uses a photo-etch process to remove some of the surface color leaving behind a pattern. Anodized aluminum cannot be soldered. Individual pieces of aluminum are combined by riviting, drilling tiny holes

This is very stimulating work you have written for us. Some people need to be guided that these things can occur to anyone. You have shown me a better outlook now.

I really like this– but wish some of the pieces had a little more of an Antique Jewelry look. It’s my favorite style and these metals would really give it a little flare. My grandma would be proud!n-Sylvia
