San Francisco designer Claudia Kussano sterling silver handcrafted earrings brushed and oxidized earrings.

Claudia first became involved with fine arts while studying and teaching art in Brazil. Through exploration of various art forms, she was drawn to metals arts and ultimately jewelry design.

Her diversity of lines and forms using fabrication and casting bring her to the swirls of contemporary jewelry. Balancing organic inspired shapes, textiles, architecture, and precious metals combined with exciting materials, she seeks to evoke a symbiotic awareness of the world and our spiritual surroundings.

These little objects of adornment only achieve full life and beauty when the admirer or wearer imbues them with meaning, power, and mystique.
