Brittany Foster Jewelry

Handcrafted Designer Jewelry

With innumerable influences, from cephalopods to industrial debris and munitions, Brittany Foster makes things, because she has always made things. Her designs are highly stylized silver jewelry with a whimsical edge. She uses a standard jeweler's saw to cut all the twirly lines by hand. She also employs the classic "hit it with a hammer" technique on her wrought pieces, which balances well with the meticulous work of cutting those curlicues.

Circle Ring 1
The circle has a hand cut design and is mounted on a solid back, which supports the band. The whole ring is silver, with the top being tarnish resistant. The finish can be maintained with a dishwashing scrub-pad. The inside of the band has been rounded for a comfortable fit.
Dimensions: 3.0mm H x 21.0mm W x 21.0mm D.
$170

Flower Earrings 1
Sterling silver french hook earrings with hand cut deco flower design.
Dimensions: 1.75in H x 0.31in W.

Giant Circle Necklace 1

$280

Having taken Community College courses in jewelry through high school, Brittany Foster went to the School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology, graduating with honors in 2002. She then went on to set up an increasingly complicated shop. She has always worked as an independent jeweler with her own studio, developing her unique style through the time-honored method of trial and error.
