Jewelry by Donatella Linari at Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery

 

I hope you will join me for a very special night on January 14 from 6 – 9 Pm at the Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery in Lake Worth.  The night will feature jewelry designs by Donatella Linari, www.donatellalinari.com

 

From the beginning of recorded history, man has adorned himself with jewelry in some form.  Some of the first works of personal art ever discovered are in the form of beads, which have been traded, collected and worn for a millennia.  From these ancient artifacts Donatella Linari creates singular works of wearable art.  Traveling across the globe in search of hand-crafted beads, she has spent time deep in the Amazon, traveled through Egypt and calls the city of Rome her home.  Her works are museum quality—blending fine gemstones with antiquities.  Her masterfully crafted designs literally bring history to life.  Donatella tells us that the precious objects she uses in her designs are “time-travelers”—offering us a window into forgotten cultures.  Her designs connect the wearer with history itself.  www.donatellalinari.com

Donatella will be showing her work for one night only, Friday, January 14 from 6 – 9 PM.  You do not want to miss this opportunity to meet the designer and listen as she shares her experiences collecting beads and artifacts from all around the world.  Her works exemplify the link between art and history—don’t miss this moment in time!

 

Best wishes,

 

Karen
