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.
