Lace in Metal - Rei Harada Jewelry
Rei Harada creates several lovely collections
of jewelry and I find her Lace series to be
especially noteworthy.
Her work is fabricated using small cast
elements that are patterned after lacy designs.
Yes, it's lacy but with a distinct edge.

Yes, it's lacy but with a distinct edge.
Each dramatic scalloped element
makes a bold statement.
The artist describes her work as follows,
The original model of the cast is not fabric but a sheet metal
pierced in the lace pattern so none of my lace work
have that organic texture of actual lace.
I like how that look of industrial cut-out metal plays
with the image of soft and delicate lace fabric.
It looks like three-dimensional lace
yet it's not; she has captured the demure
details of lace without having to take a stitch.
