2024 Jewelry Gift Guide

The Farmers Market is lucky to have so many artisans who dedicate their creative time to crafting wearable art. Each handcrafted item isas unique as the recipient. Artists at the Market recognize the importance of using high quality materials, so each item is durable enough to last for a longtime with proper care. There is jewelry available at the Market for every budget and style. Here are some specific styles to find at your next visit to the Market:

Silver Stackable Rings—For three decades, Dancing Circles has been crafting classic silver pieces. Their etching process is reminiscent of a painter—the dots are not perfectly round and the lines widen and thin like the stroke of a paintbrush. Stackable silver rings, earrings, bracelets, and even silver buttons are some of the pieces you will see when you visit their Market stand.

Ming China Pendants—Andi Clarke Jewelry collects sea glass and shards of pottery from beaches around the world to save them in her sterling silver designs. Pendants are available as necklaces and earrings. Because the china is collected from lost pieces, no two jewelry pieces are alike.

Mixed Material Beadwork—Using dichroic fused glass, abalone, metals, stone, and basket weaving techniques, Raventree Design creates jewelry for a range of styles. Celebrating over thirty years of artistic expression, Raventree Design creates art for you in mind.

Silver Silhouettes—Each silver pendant design starts with a hand sketched drawing. Silentgoddess Jewelry then uses a jeweler saw to cut out the delicate designs. No designs are ever identical because of the hand cut quality. Silhouettes of birds, trees, mountains, flowers, and stars are the subject of Silentgoddess’ silver pendants. When you visit her stand, check out her stonework too.

Glass Hearts—Ginger Street Studio is recognizable from their display of sun-catching yellow and blue glassware. In addition to their collection of cups, cases, and windchimes, they have a large assortment of heart-shaped glass pendants. The pendants capture the beauty of the glass it came from. New colors are available every week.

Delicate Beading—Hood Canal Beadwork became a vendor at the Market in early 2024. Her delicate beadwork is used to design a variety of jewelry items including rings, bracelets, and necklaces. The miniscule, brightly colored beads are arranged in pleasing patterns and arrangements.

Clay Earrings—Lightweight clay earring are hand built at Marion Pollmann Clay Art. These circular earrings reflect the artists’ signature style that incorporate colorful glazes and sweet pictures of natural critters. The stamps used to create the earrings are all original designs. Some of the stamps include aliens, foxes, turtles, skunks, cats, dogs, birds, bees, hearts, and mushrooms.

Tableware to Wear—New to her line of original handbags, crafted from leather and fabric repurposed from the home décor industry, Jeanie has ventured into repurposing silver flatware into wearable pieces of art. From rings and bracelets to necklaces, all her pieces highlight the original beauty and design of the flatware.  

Botanically Printed Leather Earrings—For over 20 years, Healy Originals has created goods such as tote bags, wallets, purses, and more. One of their newest additions to the Market are their leather stamped earrings. Find them on display at the Market this holiday season!
