Why: Corey's work is a pleasing blend of soft textures and hard edges, raw gem crystals and refined metals, spontaneous imperfections and carefully crafted details. She's a wiz at combining them in timely designs that are provocative and edgy, equally at home around the neck of a graffiti artist or on the hand of an art collector. Especially enchanting are her rose-cut gem rings in sterling silver...the tight edges of the colorful Sapphires and Diamonds paired with the gentle texture of the metal makes me all dreamy-eyed and satisfied with appreciation for this talented jeweler!
