30th Street Craft Market Featured Artist: Krista Peel

I combine my love of color, rocks and miniatures to make little, luminous sculptures for your ears and vibrant statement necklaces.

I started working on earrings because I was disappointed that most designs seemed to be in 2 parts – the stones/beads and the earwires – and I wanted to resolve that problem. I merge these components into one elegant object.

Each pair of my earrings, as well as my big, bold necklaces, are well-tested solutions to form + function.

All these pieces are handmade by me and I take great joy and care in selecting all the stones and materials. I truly love to make wearable studio jewelry – and I love wearing it. You will, too!
