I am hopelessly in love with jewelry. It wouldn’t be fair to say I have a favorite jewelry artist, since looking at my dresser top filled with a mess of this past week’s choices tossed in a clump – all a jumble – reveals that I clearly don’t play favorites.
I will say, however, that Jes MaHarry is a remarkable artist. Her work speaks to me.
I believe she is one of America’s finest craftspeople. I believe her work will be studied, written about, collected and shown for many generations to come.
And I know that none of that matters. Because it is clear to me that Jes was called to create each piece as strongly as I was called to discover the ones that I own. It is in this connection that I find the beauty of collecting her work.
