Cynthia Downs

You can't help but feel the wonder of life, millions of years ago, magically transformed into the contemporary jewelry designs of Cynthia Downs. Cynthia translates her love of nature into every piece she creates. For example she incorporates fossils of ancient coral, turtle shells, petrified woods or nautilus as casts to create her designs. She weaves together her passion as a metalsmith to create woven bracelets, rings and broaches cast in high-karat gold and silver with spectacular gemstones. She has a particular fondness for the vibrant hues of opals only found in Bolder, Australia.
