Item Description
The Blue Hill Bracelet was designed for Handworks Gallery in Blue Hill, Maine. The nautical nature of the clasp and wrapped wire are suggestive of the town's history as a center for shipbuilding which began in the late 1700's. Lee Centeno creates jewelry that is handcrafted using sterling silver, with copper, brass and bronze accents to create contemporary pieces of art that are eye catching and functional. As a jeweler Lee looks for patterns in nature and unique aspects of the Maine coast to inspire her work. The designs focus on simple shapes that echo the world around her. As a jeweler Lee uses only cold connections. This approach relies on bending, piercing, wrapping and riveting metals together, rather than the more traditional use of heat and solder. This method of metal work brings a unique element to each piece and challenges Lee as an artist to develop a line of jewelry that is unlike many others. As a result of this technique, and because each piece is made by hand, no two are exactly alike.
