San Francisco jeweler, Alix Bluh has a background steeped in the Arts. She was an Award winning designer even before she knew that jewelry would be the path she would fallow. There were many exhibits and galleries that featured her paintings and Assemblage works, including the Seoul Olympics Art Festival in 1988.
In 1989, while living in London she started collecting and selling Antiques as she pursued making one-of-kind jewelry pieces. She combined a fascination with time worn objects with that of cutting edge arts.
She came back to the U.S and operated a store where she could sell her eclectic finds while incorporating many treasures into her unique art. Her "jewelry" pieces included original tin-type photographs, pocket watch parts, and various curios. Her exploration in painting, sculpture and assemblage literally shrunk into wearable art.
Future forward, a decade later, the designs are as unique as ever. Her collection echoes themes that are both sentimental as well as modern. For example, the Victorian love affair with the natural sciences, reflected in miniature botanical engravings under glass.
Each piece seems to tell a story, each collection a new chapter in a really good book. The book of MODERN RELICS!
