Stunning Jewelry - Designs by Irit

Turquoise, sea glass, copper, ...earthy and beautiful designs for your body and soul. Irit Hamami designs stunning jewelry for everyone. Her works range from a bold, turquoise show-stopper to a delicate and clever combination of various bead styles and colors in her necklace "Hippie".

 

Turq, Turquoise and silver,  by Irit Hamami

In creating Turq, she knew what she was going to make right away when she got the turquoise beads. She could see how it should be and made it "right on the spot", as she said.

Irit likes detail and will do sketches of her pieces in advance. In her piece, Hippie, she did a sketch and considered which materials would work together to create a "young, cool and happy" necklace.  

Hippie, Knotted Mixed Media, by Irit Hamami

  

She has felt good working with precious stones and pearls since she the beginning. She feels that many stones, like chakras, have a certain warmth and beauty that attracted her. Today Irit also works with crystals and loves the feeling she has when she finishes a piece. Even though it was difficult to let go of her works at first.

Irit Hamamai has been selling her jewelry at open studios and craft fairs. She started with an open studio at home, where her formal dining room and living room became her show room. She has since been presenting her work at Lexington Open Studios and other craft fairs. Be sure to look for her at the Munroe Center for the Arts at this year’s Lexington Open Studios. Her one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry are worth a special trip.

Irit has just launched her new website http://www.designsbyirit.com/ Be sure to look for her at the Munroe Center for Arts from May 21-22, 2011 during Lexington Open Studios or visit her online shop.
