Materials: 14k white and 18k yellow gold, various gemstones Dimensions: 35mm diameter A Visual Vessel and part of my River Pebbles series, I think of dropping gently tumbled pebbles into a round container like a fishbowl, and indulging myself in observation of the seemingly random pattern they create. Photo credit: Cole Rogers Rona Fisher Rona Fisher Jewelry Design Philadelphia, PA. USA Being an artist is what gets me up in the morning- thinking about a new design, and about making that piece gives me energy and an optimism that I can't imagine being without. Inspiration is everywhere! In human-made structures such as bridges and buildings, to the very basics of being in the desert in Arizona with nobody around. Rivers play an important part in my work- the irregular river banks and the flowing of water and the feeling of looking down into clear, clean water and studying the pattern of the River Pebbles- it's memorizing and it's a simple appreciation of how things are when left alone that I like to convey in my jewelry-making. formally trained as a fine arts painter, making the jump to jewelry-making was simply a matter of practicing the techniques. The inspiration is first- technique without inspiration is meaningless.
