N Kay Morrison - Hand Fabricated Jewelry
Jewelry fabrication combines aesthetic expression and technical engineering. This blend satisfies both my love of beauty as well as analytical precision. I strive for elegant forms at times simple but often complex. Intricate constructions such as handmade chains, hollowforms and bead set gemstones are incorporated in my work.
