Clusters of glittering constellations and a sprinkling of gold baubles catch the light. Like a tiny universe this necklace by Christine Peters draws in the eye and stirs the heart. A single faceted amethyst, suspended in silver, hovers like a distant star. The sterling silver oval is sprinkled with gold dust and delicate baubles that dance across the oxidized surface.

Inspired by the nature around her, Christine Peters has been creating one of a kind jewelry pieces since 1996, soon after she moved to Maine. She was originally trained in sculpture at Boston University, working in stone, clay, and steel.
Shifting to jewelry was a practical decision, which allows her to pursue her artistic creations with a bench and a torch, rather than needing a large studio. She received further training with Maine College of Art, Metalwerx, Haystack, and privately with several Maine jewelers. Now, she maintains a home studio where she works to consistently push her metalwork and design sense to new levels.
From the Artist:
Everything motivates me to create: a winter sunset, a branch, a bug, a tiny flower, the all-powerful sea. I am so fortunate to do what I love.
