About the Artist

Inspired by the limitless possibilities of color, texture and pattern formed by the combination of fiber, metal and semiprecious stones, Ivy Long has been creating her unique, handcrafted jewelry for ten years. Her work has been respresented through upscale boutiques and galleries as well as through direct sales and custom orders (including custom work for rock star Courtney Love).

An artist and craftswoman by nature, Ivy began honing her distinctive jewelry-making skills early, apprenticing with several jewelry designers while still in her teens. A love of fiber arts and historical costume, inherited from her milliner mother, led to the incorporation of fine crochet and lacemaking techniques into her work. The result is an elegant and romantic collection of highly individualized pieces that feature meticulous interweavings of silk, gold and silver thread, embroidery, semiprecious stones, vintage beads, and handcrafted chains.

Ivy Long's jewelry celebrates the eternal feminine with designs that are beautiful, complex, delicate yet strong, and distinctive.
