Self-taught Dean Harris is an artistic mastermind who discovered his jewelry talent, while on a quest to learn why people embellish their bodies with jewelry and accessories. Harris believes in the ability for us to relate to the world in a positive way though the self-expression of what we wear.
Harris designed a gorgeous collection of earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings that are predominantly made of 18K gold and silver and often combined with either Tahitian pearls, fossilized mammoth or shed horn.
A beautifully artistic piece that caught my attention was a piece of green petrified wood brilliantly attached as a pendant to a thin golden chain. The chain is attached in a way that appears as if it is woven throughout the wood and then decorated with tiny pink sapphires. Harris’ ability to take unlikely pieces and turn it into a magnificent expression of art is a remarkable talent.
There are many other eye catching necklaces with large crystal, amethyst, and golden pendants- all just as fascinating. The rest of the collection has a similarly artistic feel to it. The earrings are just like mini replicas of artwork and the metal in his jewelry has a flowing form to it. There are also several fossilized mammoth bangle bracelets with brown diamonds placed in yellow gold, giving them a natural look. The rings are striking and elegantly crafted.
The exceptional Dean Harris collection comes with a hefty price tag, but it can be justified for jewelry that is this exquisite and beautiful. Visit www.deanharris.com to view the entire Dean Harris collection. Order online or view a list of retailers carrying the line in your region.
