Reimagined Jewels By Terry Lynn Windquist Jewelry Artist
I was introduced to the world of jewelry at an early age. My mother and grandmother opened their jewelry boxes and dressed me up with necklaces, bracelets, and rings. This continued for years as I played dress up with my mom’s jewelry, clothes, hats, purses, and high heels. My mom was the image of June Cleaver in the 50’s television sitcom, Leave It to Beaver. Every morning she dressed in the current fashion with her hair styled in the latest cut and always wore a piece of jewelry. Her favorite necklace being the pearls my dad gave her as a wedding present. I often wear my mom’s pearl necklace, and a few of her earrings, pins, and rings. I really like all her jewelry but most of it is simply outdated. This is how I came up with the idea to remake my mother’s jewelry. Reimagined Jewels is a project that involves deconstructing vintage jewelry and fashioning it into contemporary and stylish pieces.
