Alyssa Farber | Sweet Commotion

Artist:  Alyssa Farber, USA
Materials: Sterling silver with river rock
Size: 8.5 (Can't be resized)

One of a kind

Artist Statement: Bees gather and swirl around a small honey pot, drawn by sweetness. The pot was hand-fused, then sawn open to pass a mechanical armature through its center before being fused closed again. Beneath the band, a honey-colored river rock set in a bezel offers a small hidden touch of honey for the wearer.

Artist Bio: I’m a Seattle-based jewelry maker drawn to whimsy and the unexpected details found in everyday living. After taking a metalsmithing class at North Seattle College in 2014, I was hooked. Working primarily in silver, I create playful, story-driven pieces that increasingly lean toward wearable sculpture—small worlds of curiosity, movement, and surprise.
