Loretta Lam Jewelry

Work from the Loretta Lam studio

has delighted us for several years.

Hand-sculpted pieces made with polymer 

combine many different effects in her

creation of uniquely contemporary jewelry.

Each of her creations are

sophisticated, versatile, and at times,

thought provoking.

Of all the many pieces of jewelry

that Loretta creates we most admire

her Inros.

An inro is defined as

a small, usually ornamented box

 that is hung from the waist sash of a

Japanese kimono and has

compartments for holding small objects

such as cosmetics, perfumes, or medicines.

Over time inros have evolved from

strictly utilitarian articles into objects

of high art and immense craftsmanship.

Let's take a look at some examples

of her sculptural art to wear.

Here is another inro.

Here is one more example.

We are inspired by Loretta's 

wonderful sculptural jewelry

 and her detailed craftsmanship.

Using color and form she creates a

visually-stunning display

of dense richness and complexity.

We find Loretta's work to be

 inspiring and imaginative.
