IBH's New Featured Artist Jewelry in Harmony

This is a follow-up to a earlier blog I had posted about Its Better Handmade Guild will be featuring a new artist each week. This week I am honoring "Jewelry in Harmony."

Elizabeth Devigili is the sole owner of Jewelry in Harmony and has been a independent jewelry artist for more than 10 years. She has her own art studio where she brings her love of cameo jewelry alive by wire wrapping each individual piece and creates a "piece of art." She is a outstanding jewelry designer that finds the beauty in nature and intertwines her love of cameo's. Elizabeth's designs can be seen worldwide; now that is what I call a exquisite and exceptionally outstanding person who loves to create and share her artistic talent.

Cameo's them self are a piece of heirloom jewelry that you hold dearly to your heart. Jewelry in Harmony takes a beautiful cameo and with her artistic talent uses silver and gold to create a OOAK wire wrapped Cameo jewelry piece. If you look closely, each cameo has its own story to tell. She has worked long and hard to get where she is at and has been honored by ArtFire as a "Certified Handmade Artisan." This is not a easy achievement, it takes long hours of working and designing one-of-a-kind jewelry creations and prove yourself as a handmade artisan. Congratulation's Jewelry in Harmony on becoming certified!

Browsing through her studio I found many beautiful and artistic cameo designs that I would like to share; but let me tell you, it is not a easy decision to pick just a few. You really need to take a stroll and check out for yourself the outstanding cameo designs. You can find Jewelry in Harmony on ArtFire by following this link: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/Jewelry_in_Harmony.

Elizabeth's talent goes beyond just designing cameo jewelry; she also creates shell and pearl jewelry, gemstone jewelry, men's jewelry, rings, bracelet's, sets and the list goes on. We are talking artistic!

Here is a beautiful cameo bracelet that really caught my eye! This shows how she combines nature's beauty and a lovely goddess design cameo.

As a member of Its Better Handmade (IBH) I would like everyone to understand what IBH is all about first of all; IBH is a place where artisian's and/or artist like myself, can show the community and now worldwide, just how handcrafted otherwise know as handmade design's are so much more special when you see a handmade item designed just for you. When purchasing handcrafted item's its more meaningful knowing someone has put his/her time into crafting a one-of-a-kind personal design that is meant just for you.

Each member brings their different type artistically talent and shares with each other, we put our business minds together and by doing so we have created a central place to come together. Every artist continues to learn and socialize which in the end; our artistic talent and business grows.

At this time, IBH is having a collection contest which each member submits a collection of handcrafted design's based on their title description.
