Sydney
Lynch is an accomplished metalsmith and designer whose jewelry
includes both one-of-a-kind jewels and multiples, each piece made by
hand in her studio. Most
of the collection is executed in bi-metal – an alloy of 22K or 18K
golds and sterling silver – that allows her to contrast yellow
gold surfaces with oxidized sterling silver for the dramatic designs
for which she is known. Colorful
cabochon gems – including peridot, aquamarine, iolite, tourmaline,
moonstone and pearls – are a signature in her work.
Many of her works seem to be drawings or sketches, brought to
three-dimensional reality in precious metals so they can be worn.
