Tamara Gruner

Her work caught my eye because she has her pieces modeled on dogs. My first thought was that this was animal jewelry and that I have never seen such a thing apart from maybe a dangle on a collar or leash. After further investigation I realized that these were bright, vibrant pieces. The look of the big statement pieces and the bright colors reminds me of a high end type of costume jewelry. Her pieces lack symmetry which adds to the overall flavor of the pieces and most of the work is a earth tone with a pop of color by using a jewel or some other medium.
