Earth Alchemy Design - DeeAnn vonHunke
Artist Statement

I have been a designer/craftsperson for over thirty five years. I started out working in porcelain, sculpting and wheel throwing large graceful translucent forms. PMC silver eased the transition from pottery to jewelry. My work is divided between one of a kind personally inspired pieces, and work that is a custom created collaboration with a client.

My jewelry pieces are formed using a variety of semi-precious materials and multi-step processes, forming thoughts and feelings; discovery and craft; story and art. I hope you find the same sense of discovery and fulfillment with my work that the craft has provided me.

My Service Pledge To You: I will respond to most questions and purchase inquiries within 48 hours barring unforeseen circumstances. Purchases may be made by phone or e-mail. All purchases come in a gift box or bag.

Designing jewelry is more than a business, it is the art in my life. My jewelry is created using semi-precious gemstones, cultured freshwater pearls, amber, sterling silver, and PMC silver. Please note that most semi-precious gemstones may be subject to additional enhancement processing during mining, cutting, polishing, and initial stringing. These processes may include heat and/or pressure treating, dyeing, sealing, etc. All items should be kept in a proper jewelry box or bag. Sterling Silver items will tarnish if left exposed to air. SALES TAX: All New York residents are required by law to pay sales tax.
