Making a Statement - Francisca Bauzá Jewelry

Statement jewelry is meant to make a statement.

Necklaces created by Francisca Bauzá

make a bold statement - both in terms

of color and size.



First, let's talk about the colors.

Simply stated, they are beautiful.

 This artist's collection features enameling

 on copper and silver.

Some of the colors are 

 gentle and muted.

They look like gently brushed

watercolors - a mere whisper of color.

Then there are the deep jewel tones

that almost vibrate with intensity.

It all works together in visual harmony.

Now let's talk about the size.

The separate components

are fabricated in a range of sizes

and when all the components come

together the result is a

gorgeous, oversized

statement piece that

can take your breath away.

The combination of size and color

creates a necklace that makes

an audacious statement.

It's a perfect combination.

Here's an example. 

This floral necklace uses a range of

warm tones from the

 palest shades of blush, carnation and rose

to deeper shades of ruby, magenta,

scarlet and russet.

This pleasing palette provides luster and depth

that is wonderfully captivating.

 

And the effect when worn is bold and strong.

It's a real show stopper.

Other pieces in this collection feature

colors like topaz, amber,

goldenrod and mahogany.

Again, each component blends
harmoniously with the others.

Working with a cooler range of color

also provides

interest and visual intrigue.

Here's a gorgeous example of her work in blue tones.

 From the tiniest hint of robin's egg blue and aquamarine,

to dabs of cerulean and splashes of turquoise,
each color adds depth and interest to the necklace.

This necklace is stunning.

The play of light and color

in each translucent color creates

luscious, glossy surfaces with mottled effects.

Creating variegated hues and patterns

on each metallic component allows

the artist freedom to combine

color and effect in endless combinations.

The final result is eye catching.

As I said earlier,

statement jewelry is meant to make a statement.

If you make a statement be prepared

for a reaction.

These pieces will

always spark a conversation.

And attract lots of attention.
