What is statement jewelry? In a nutshell, it’s wearable art that helps you express your unique style. We often use our hairstyle or clothing style to express our sense of self. Learn to use wearable art…statement pieces…to express your unique sense of style. It’s easier than you think.
A statement piece is usually larger than a typical piece of jewelry and has that WOW! factor. It can be made of metal or a mixture of metals – gold, sterling silver, even copper and brass and can feature a prominent gemstone or a large number of smaller stones. A statement piece made of metal might be enameled or colored with other modern color mediums that work well with metals.
A statement piece may also be made from a relatively new material called polymer clay, which are available in professional grades, perfect for sculpting into wearable art. Professional grade polymer is extremely lightweight, but super strong, making it perfect for statement jewelry pieces. Very large earrings can be made of this material and are worn without pulling the earlobes or elongating the piercing holes in the ears. They are lightweight and comfortable enough to be worm all day and into the evening.
Polymer clay artists mix unique color palettes, add texture, silk screening, and other modern and vibrant color options to make unique pieces that are one-of-a-kind works of art that are a delight to wear.
Polymer clay artists also are usually willing to work with you to create just the right piece in just the right colors. Suppose you find a style that you love, but the colors just aren’t quire right.
