“Jewelry should
be well-designed, beautifully
crafted and, above all, fun to wear.”
~ Victoria
Varga ~
"My
work is made of sterling silver with an inlay of resin and crushed stone or
glass. First the graphics are cut out of sheet silver and set in a bezel. A
thin layer of resin is poured over my designs. To create an inlay I grind
semi-precious stone or glass into a fine sand with a pestle and mortar. I
make a porcelain-like paste by combining these powdered materials with
resin. The lightweight paste is packed into the back of each bezel. This
process is reminiscent of "scagliola," the ancient Roman art of mixing
ground marble and granite dust with plaster. This blend of old and new
techniques allows me to create jewelry that is bold, lightweight and fun to
wear."
