Wearable Art: Black Mountain Collection - with D-link elements

Unveiling the Black Mountain Jewelry Collection - Bracelet and Necklace now availaboe on Etsy!

We at Quix Art and Design are excited to introduce our new and thrilling approach to jewelry design. In this stunning collection, we've turned the conventional design process on its head by designing the elements before finalizing the form of the finished pieces. This ingenious method allows the elements to influence and even dictate the captivating limitations of each design. Behold our debut necklace and bracelet set from the remarkable Black Mountain jewelry collection, showcasing fascinatingly shaped links that form the very foundation of our wearable art pieces.

 

Our mission is simple yet meaningful: we aim to create jewelry that goes beyond mere materials and holds spiritual significance for its wearers. To achieve this, we've taken sustainability to heart, incorporating recycled materials from abandoned properties in rural Oklahoma. By giving new life to forgotten and discarded materials, we not only promote sustainable fashion but also voice our support for struggling small rural businesses in the wake of the pandemic and labor shortage. Help us support sustainable practices and small businesses by making a purchase from our Etsy store.

In the past, our design process started with a clear vision, breaking it down into elements to construct the  final piece. Now, we've flipped the creative process on its head. We start by crafting these  and other unique links, allowing them to inspire and guide the final design. It's a journey of exploration, and we're excited to share it with you.

Though our final designs may appear straightforward, the creative path is anything but. We've explored multiple avenues, learning and growing with each step. This is just the beginning of many designs to come using these and other captivating links. Follow this post for updates on our latest designs and be part of the artistic adventure.

Our groundbreaking approach finds its inspiration in the wise words of Anni Albers delivered in a speech at Black Mountain College. She beautifully expressed, "They [the elements of the jewelry] were rather forced upon us by the material than being sought by us. We felt more acted upon than acting." Embracing this philosophy, we've discovered an unprecedented realm of artistic possibilities.

Working with unconventional materials like copper and aluminum has its challenges, but we embrace them wholeheartedly. Pushing the boundaries of what's achievable with these materials fuels our creativity, resulting in bold and unique designs.
