There is an eloquence to Tracy Johnson’s jewelry that speaks from the soul. It is a voice that translates the majesty of nature into harmonious textures and forms. Her works are like words turned into precious frameworks of gold and silver: places for rare and unusual gemstones and pearls to rest within, to inhabit, to find homes. Every piece is original—primitive and bold, yet crafted to resolve into classically elegant structures. Johnson’s designs are ageless and they honor an ancient craft. She fuses skills as old as jewelry making itself with the most sophisticated modern techniques: forging, hammering, casting, carving. “The immediacy of fabricating in gold is exhilarating.”
