Fancy // Mineralogy

Mineralogy jewelry is a collection of limited edition and one-of-a-kind jewelry designed and handcrafted by Chicago local and School of the Art Institute of Chicago graduate, Theresa Cowan.  Inspired by an earth science class lecture of minerals, Cowan began her creations. Mineral specimens are the focal point of the intricate collection.  Each piece is made impressionistically with the experimentation with the materials of the basis of the design process.  Cowan looks to enhance what nature has left and other times, chooses to let the object stand alone as a fortification of its natural state.  The majority of the minerals used are uncut and unpolished to display their unique characteristics.  Cowan also assimilates the use of obscure elements in her jewelry, such as animal bones and prehistorical animal teeth, some dating back to 2 million years ago.  These styles are produced in limited quantities, with each individual piece unique in its own aspects due to nature's wonderful aberrations.  Shop Mineralogy at The Fancy Affair.
