San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 03, 2011
San Francisco based jeweler, John S. Brana, has been featured by the Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America Journal for his cutting edge use of non-precious metals such as copper in his collections.
The Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America (MJSA) is a prestigious organization dedicated to professional excellence in jewelry making and design. With prices of traditional jewelry metals such as silver and gold skyrocketing, and concerns over sustainable and ethical use of resources, the organization has been quick to seek out jewelers who have shown innovation in their use of non-precious metals. John S. Brana is an ideal fit for this contemporary jewelry design movement because of his copper and aluminum collections. He is also strongly inspired by nature, with organic forms and earthy tones featuring strongly in his work.
John S. Brana's jewelry collections are noteworthy not only for his early adoption of materials such as copper, but also for the creativity and technical skill shown in his experimentation with these metals. Metal working techniques such as form folding, planishing and chasing give his designs an organic feel while still exuding the high quality finish expected from luxury jewelry collections. His combination of artistry and technical expertise are evident in his unique and eye-catching designs, careful selection of complementary gemstones and balance between traditional and contemporary jewelry styles.
