Jewelry designer Brooke Kanani creates mini sculptures of art when she makes jewelry.  Being taught and trained in the lost wax method of casting, as well as studying sculpture has truly influenced each design.  I love how she uses many nonconventional materials when making jewelry–like shells, seed pods and other natural rocks.  Her jewelry has a very organic feel without being too simple–it is actually very complex and intricate.  Check out her designs below and to see more visit her website.  She also has a Facebook Fan Page.
