Handcrafted Designer Jewelry
Judith Neugebauer's jewelry is made of die-formed brushed sterling silver with an overlay of 23K gold leaf applied in sweeping, calligraphic strokes. Many pieces are enhanced with freshwater pearls and Australian boulder opals. Judith also uses oxidized and sandblasted sterling silver to create a rich charcoal-black patina that contrasts even more dramatically with the 23K gold. Oriental aesthetics also play a role in her designs.
