Kristina Kada's art studio rests amid the quiet redwoods in the mountains of Santa Cruz. Inspired by her surroundings, her Japanese heritage, and the many shapes found in botanical forms and architecture, Kristina layers simple elements in repetition to build up richly textured patterns and produce interesting forms. Her classic jewelry techniques employ steel stakes, saw piercing and a hydraulic press to meld freehand elements with original castings.
Five sakura (sakura means cherry blossom in Japanese) petals hang gently from a delicate, handcrafted chain in a bright fluttering cluster, reminding us of the beauty and transience of life.
Each matte sterling silver petal is 1/4" w x 3/8" l. Oxidized sterling silver chain measures 17". Lobster clasp is accented with a charm containing the artist's stamp of authenticity. Made in the USA.
