THE WORLD IS OUR OYSTER

By September 11, 2012October 23rd, 2013No Comments

Aaron R. Thomas is currently working with Stefanie Phan Fine Jewelry  to develop her debut collection. Featured here, Thomas gives the editor-turned-jewelry designer lessons in acrylic forming. Inspired by a special dinner, Stefanie wanted to take oyster shells from the evening and turn them into a mod-sea goddess inspired necklace. Using acrylic mirror, black and clear acrylic, the master craftsman showed her how to heat and hand-shape each oyster shell for her necklace design, which features clusters of diamonds and pearls.
