Lovely and lyrical, a single strand of hydrangea blossoms have been meticulously hand-wrought in vibrant 18K gold to create a magical bracelet. Each flower creates its own link and is rich with detail. Near the closure is a dangling hydrangea, adding subtle movement to this already elegant bracelet.

NEW YORK - From his small studio in New York state, John Iversen meticulously fabricates organically inspired, wearable art. Crafted to perfection, his inspiration not only comes from specimens of the natural world, but also in the metals he uses. Each vein in his hydrangeas is finely worked; the edges of his distinctive leaf pins ripple as though they are actually dried; his chain links are subtly textured to reveal the quality of the silver.

"All of my jewelry is about the secret which lies hidden in the materials I use. It wants to be discovered."
