Handcrafted Jewelry Inspired with the Remarkable Beauty of the Universe



The gifted artist “Jackie Taylor” set goals to infuse the real beauty of the universe in her pieces of jewelry. More than 20 years, Jackie Tyalor (Moon Stars Jewelry) has refined her design process, which always started with a detailed drawing. Therefore, her beautiful multifaceted technique comprises wire construction, metal forming, soldering, firing glass in a kiln, casting, and even wax carving.
Well, the most interesting fact is that she pays homage to the Tibetan Buddhist monks who would throw prayers of intention into molten metal as they casted their sacred bells. However, the jewelry designer also takes part in this worthy practice by "realizing the importance of intention, and elements that go beyond the decorative aspect of jewelry."
Moreover she works to visually re-form the nighttime sky, complete with shining stars essentially aiming to capture the splendor that surrounds us.  She says; preferably my inspired process can be both seen and fondled in the work as it bonds the connection between our eternal quest for meaning and an ongoing celebration of the beauty of the universe we inhabit. Furthermore if you really like her work then you can witness her designed on Etsy shop.
