Oh, my Gosh.... Ever since I was at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts in San Fransisco I have been in love with the art and beauty of Henry Dunay's jewelry designs.
And he is STILL creating.
Not only is his work MAJOR EYE CANDY, it is crafted by his skilled goldsmiths... working to create his designs. While I was learning the basics of becoming a goldsmith, I learned to appreciate the intricacies of the designs.
My work has always had a bent towards the abstract and 'edgy' as a friend says. But that doesn't mean I cannot enjoy and be impressed by the fluidity, grace and feminine essence of his work.
Now, one must wonder, " How are you influenced by his work, it is not at all like yours?"
Easy answer: Finish. Completion. Balance without being static. Love of gemstones, texture on metal and always keeping the wearer in mind.
Henry Dunay, you rock!
Don't forget to visit these other fine artists and see what THEY have to say on the subject.

Can relate to that, it's not always important to have the same style to be inspired. Inspiration has to do with so much like colors, craftsmanship or textures as you said. That's why it's so importance to share, it does make the world to a happier place. :) / http://byzarah.com
