Jewelry > Fullerton-Bahr

Fullerton Bahr is a husband and wife team who collaborate on both the design and production of their work. They have been pursuing their craft for 12 years.

The concept of their work is to evoke the imagery of primative art or archeological relics but in a clearly contemporary expression. The compositions tend to be a sort of collage of many varied and contrasting elements tht relate like found objects within the composition.  This along with the patinas result in a curiously post-apocalyptic look or an almost ’road warrior’ aesthetic.

Their collection includes earrings, brooches, pendants, bracelets, and rings (including wedding sets). The current work is usually composed with sterling armatures that are developed with collage like compositions of 22k, 18k, and 14k colored golds, mokume gane and sterling sliver with diamonds and pearls. Mokume gane, the featured technique is hand fabricated by John and Lynda. It involves an ancient Japanese metal working technique of layering multi colored metals such as gold, sterling and shakudo.
