mixing textures & twisting them around your neck..

About Me

i make jewelry. i love contradiction in my designs. textures move me. playing w/ color amuses me.i love to dismember and then recreate old/vintage/other people's jewelry. i taught myself and i'm always trying to make it as durable and showstopping as possible.i have a wide range of styles and inspirations. friends, movies, fabric, songs all inspire me.many of my pieces are not even that similar. i can do art deco freshwater chandeliers one day and a hotpink & black coral punky choker the next. i love doing custom work.

you can buy chrystalyn jewelry @ www.chrystalynjewelry.com

Music:

when i'm making jewelry this is what i listen to: further seems forever, sea & cake, sufjan stevens, nutcracker ballet, oh my god, rachel yamagata, muse, shins, sundays, snow patrol, telepopmusik, eisley, underoath, auto escape, badly drawn boy, beulah, lovedrug, deathcab, emery, josh hendrick, french kicks, miles davis, motion city sndtk, old 97's, patsy cline, neil diamond, sleeping @ last, sunny day real estate, sundays, cardigans, ethan durelle, john vanderslice, pinback, strategy of a launch, infadels, blindside, anathello, dead poetic, hellogoodbye, imogen heap, okgo, rhett miller, stan getz, switchfoot .... i could go on for days.

Movies:

i could watch movies and make jewelry... but it's not as inspiring as music unless it's a cool period film.

Books:

i can't read and make jewelry @ the same time.

Heroes:

jan showers does beautiful work. i love the style that ylang 23 @ the galleria carries (formerly ylang ylang). i am very fond of art deco pieces. i love garnet and freshwater pearls. i think they may be favorites.
