Jody McGill Galena, IL • Art Deco Filigree

Specializing in NeoDeco and Nouveau Era Design, I implement coveted jewelers reserve from early 20th century Europe, resulting in an exceptionally intriguing blend of radiant vintage art glass relics and crystals from Czechoslovakia, Austria, Germany, Italy, France, artfully ensconced in pristine antique French butterfly wing bronzed brass filigree and repousse primarily of the Art Nouveau vintage.
 

Each select jewel is precisely hand finessed utilizing my "Chambered Glass" technique. Indeed, the concept of encasing a stone in Art Nouveau/Deco era brass filigree began right here!

Accentuated with a melange of vintage finery, antique beadage and a plethora of reincarnated antiquarian jewels harvested from around the globe and my very own attic.

Each original work manifests a tangible extention of spirit in an attempt to relish what lies beyond my mere mortal senses. I can't really explain. It's what I do and have been doing for a very long time.
