Bones and Stones

Who: Gabriella Kiss
What: Handcrafted Jewelry
Where: Stanfordville, NY
Web: na
Why: Sophisticated jewels with an edge. Gabriella draws inspiration from nature, science, bones and body parts...relics of life rendered in wearable ornament. She's just conceptual enough to make you think about what she's trying to express, yet not so over-the-top about it to require a degree in art to understand. The lines are clean and sleek, the colors are pure and pleasant. You can find her work at the superfabulous galleries Quadrum in Chestnut Hill (just outside Boston) and Egan Day in Philadelphia.
