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
gold and sterling silver, that allows the artist to contrast yellow
gold surfaces with oxidized sterling silver for the dramatic designs
for which Lynch 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.
