The style of my jewelry has evolved from the synthesis of two related interests: sculpture and graphic design. I’ve always found great satisfaction in the problem solving aspect of creation, in making things that function in the simplest manner possible, while simultaneously providing visual pleasure. My aesthetic is rooted in the modernist tradition of jewelry design and is expressed through simplicity of form and accessibility of materials. I seek to create jewelry that is innovative and unique. |

My work is very playful. I enjoy the process of making jewelry and I think that comes through in my designs. Although I explore several different themes in my work, all of my pieces relate to each other in some way: some by shape and color, others by their kinetic qualities when worn on the body. Color and movement play an integral part in the personality of my pieces, giving them a sense of liveliness and whimsy. In designing, I aim for balance of form and function. I want to create jewelry that will engage and delight the wearer. |

Alice Roche offers a unique series of handcrafted jewelry inspired by the natural and built environment. Her work reflects elements inherent to architecture. Structure and geometry are paired with repetition, pattern and play of lines. The exploration of architecture and the act of building guides the design of each piece from start to finish. |

My design vocabulary derives from a wide range of sources which reflect my personal interests: the natural forms of rocks and seashells that Iʼve collected since childhood, the lines and contours of landscapes where Iʼve lived and traveled and the rich surfaces and intriguing shapes I find in weathered areas of the city. Iʼm interested in tribal and ancient jewelry that illustrates the human need to arrange found objects in new and meaningful relationships. It is important that my work be both sculptural and wearable. Many of my designs are abstract, leaving the wearer open to create a personal, intuitive relationship with the piece. |

Her collections are expressed with clarity, simplicity and elegance. Sculpted shapes and kinetic lines reveal a graceful structure balanced by movement. Necklaces, earrings and rings are created in hand forged 18k gold, oxidized sterling silver, enamel and diamonds. Each piece is flawlessly crafted and guided by the mindset that less is more. Austere yet human, they evoke a delicate fluidity and timelessness. |

I like to challenge the ideals of traditional jewelry by blending conventional materials to create neoteric pieces. I believe in the permanence of the piece and one of my greatest inspirations is in knowing that people will treasure their jewelry, hopefully for generations. |
