by Lori Kaplan New York, NY Lori Kaplan's travels to Europe as a young adult inspired her love of antique jewelry and classical sensibilities. Her work is generally delicate, femin ine, and unobtrusive. Kaplan was classically trained using ancient jewelry-making techniques dating from Byzantine times. Today, she incorporates these traditional techniques with more current techniques. Working primarily in 18K gold—often recycled by her—Kaplan frequently uses bezel settings with colorful gemstones as the focal point. She sometimes casts her ring bands and hand fabricates the focal stone bezel, which makes every piece one of a kind. Length: 17" Labradorite and ruby rondels 22k gold vermeil details Show more
