Chiarascura Jewelry
Chiara D'Andrea
Ridgewood, Queens
I create handmade jewelry across various media, with a focus on sculptural metal pendants and rings. I incorporate gemstones, resin, beads, upcycled materials, and found objects to craft one-of-a-kind pieces. Inspired by the chiaroscuro technique, my work explores duality and contrast: light and shadow, polished and raw, delicate and bold. Each piece carries a story rooted in nature, historic symbols, and shared human emotions, and is designed to empower its wearer.
