I am always looking for beautiful, reasonable gifts for J-Mom and when I was introduced to
Kaelin Designs, I was so impressed with the intricate designs that she develops, but even more-so, she puts so much of herself into the designs that she makes. You can find jewelry with prices that are below $50. ou can also splurge and get very unique pieces that are a bit more expensive. I was given the opportunity to check out a few of the pieces and they were just as beautiful as they look on her websites. I gave the pieces to J-Mom and she was in awe as well at the beauty and the intricate design. Overall. these beautiful pieces are ones that I would highly recommend and are ones that you will love!
About the Artist
My name is
Kaelin, and I am an Art Metalsmith. I personally hand forge sterling silver and gold for every piece that I create, to create a unique and timeless design. I think that every person in the world should have unique, unusual and affordable jewelry that is perfect for their personal style.
I’ve been a metalsmith-jeweler for over 10 years now, and I still love anything to do with metal. I think every one should know what a versatile material this is. From the amazing patterns of Mokume Gane, to the stunning textures of Reticulation, designer jewelry can be so much more than a piece mass produced in the thousands. Responsible handcrafted elegance is important to me in my work, and I use only ethically sourced diamonds, sapphires, and other gemstones in my handmade creations.
I am devoted to creating uniquely beautiful high-quality art jewelry that brings my clients an exclusive elegance in one extravagantly stunning package. But I am also devoted to making my pieces affordable to everyone, and I put the same focus and attention to detail in all of my work. Whether the piece you love is $20 or $2000, I want you to know that you have a piece of jewelry that is as unique and amazing as you are.
Here’s the official stuff:
Kaelin Cordis learned traditional Metalsmithing techniques under the tutelage of internationally recognized Master-Smiths Bill Bastas of Austin, Texas and Rick Smith of Carbondale, Illinois. With the intention of exploring traditional metalsmithing techniques using modern methods, she started Kaelin Design, and has pursued the in-depth study of the medium of Metal interacting with the natural environment, resulting in sculped beauty.
Further personal study brought Kaelin’s attention to bear on classic jewelry techniques. Bringing her experience with forged sculpture into the fine jewelry arena, she has pursued the challenge of sculptured adornment. With strong influences from Albert Paley, the Art Nouveau movement, and the curvilinear organic forms found in nature, Kaelin creates light, elegant forms of abiding luxury.
