Gioia Gewels, pronounced Joy-a  Jewels, is a new series of wearable art.  Each is a one of a kind creation that combines unlikely materials in a way that brings out the unique beauty in each.
 
Copper or brass are joined with stained or fused glass to form the foundation.  From there each one takes on a life of its own.  Repurposed items, small found objects, and vintage jewelry compliment one another.  The end result is a miniature sculpture.  A necklace that is as intriguing as it is beautiful.
