Don Dietz Creating Custom Black Coral Jewelry

Don Dietz is well known and respected in the lapidary circles. And, he continues to impart his knowledge and his skill at the Boca Raton Museum of Art-- Art School teaching several jewelry classes. Besides his expertise in the natural gemstone jewelry fabrication, he is famous for his black coral jewelry, some of which can be viewed at www.magicalsilverjewelry.com Currently he has about eight projects "on the bench" with several new orders being placed for custom black coral pieces. Black coral is easily found on the beaches on Florida and with a creative eye and skillful touch become wearable works of art! As they become finished and available for viewing, perhaps I can talk him into a few photographs for everyone to see!

Who are the Artists involved in Magical Silver Jewelry

Simone's love developed early, growing up in the Caribbean, so closely immersed in the environment of the sea and sun has led to the impression of nature in my work. The myriad of textures found on the beach; in the rocks, shells, drift wood and sand are only a few of the natural objects that I draw my work from.

Unpolished and raw, rustic and earthy is how I envision my creations. With the world becoming more aware of being Eco-friendly and going Green there has been a trend in jewelry towards natural unpolished stones. Volcanic depths have spewed their best of geodes filled with sparkling druzies, raw emeralds and aquamarines strung like beads without the expected setting of gold. Ammonites, fossilized specimens bursting with vibrant opalescent color, and petrified wood, luminous with forms of light and dark.
