New Bamboo Star Ruby Ring

I fell in love with this stone several months ago and I immediately went searching 

for 4 small blue sapphires to add to the many jewel tone colors in this stone.

My metal choices were Sterling Silver & 14k Gold

Bamboo Foliage Necklace is now available.

Bamboo Collection

Bamboo Necklace

The latest addition to our Bamboo Collection, The Bamboo Foliage Necklace is available now! Featuring our proprietary Flex Wire design, this comfortable design will move with you, yet give you the customization and adjustability that will allow for subtle adjustments for different necklines and collar styles. This is done by incorporating a flexible joint in the center of the design as well as an adjustable toggle/chain in the back.  

Shown in 342 Bronze with Sterling Silver neck wire, this design is also available in all Sterling Silver, or most any custom configuration you can dream up! Gold leaves with 3pt diamonds interspersed between the leaves? Bronze with a green patina on leaves and highly polished neck wire? Send us your ideas, we'd love to hear about them!

$1,650.00 

Close Up

I'm in the final process of sculpting one of my favorite collections. My hands were cramping up a bit sculpting the bamboo joints on the neck wire. I'm debating about adding small bamboo leaves at each joint...

I haven't decided which parts will be gold and silver but it will definitely be two tone to give it more dimension with some editions having small diamonds dotted between the leaves.










At this point, this is a pretty big project that will take 4-6 weeks to complete...if you are interested in purchasing this piece once completed, please e-mail me at dawnvertrees@gmail.com

Wyland Galleries

  Wyland Galleries 

announces newest artist Dawn Vertrees 

 

We are extremely proud to announce the placement of select works in two Wyland Galleries at the Polynesian Resort and the Boardwalk Resort at Disney in Orlando. 

 
As you might imagine, our Bamboo Collection and Orchid Collection have found a great fit surrounded by bronze sculpture and paintings of nature by renown artist Wyland as well as others. We hope to introduce our Ocean Reef Collection and Kudzu Collection over the coming months. 

The Wyland Galleries are some of the finest on the Disney properties, and feature only the highest quality art in the most beautiful atmosphere imaginable. 

If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend a visit to either or both of these fine galleries the next time you're in Orlando!
