Melle Finelli Studio will host Jewelry Edition Volume 4, a traveling exhibition of contemporary jewelry, for the month of September. This group show featuring six artists is organized and curated by jewelry artists Kat Cole and Laura Wood.
Amarette Gregor, of Portland, Oregon, is known for combining bundles of thread and fabricated metal setting into texturally striking wearable art.
Inspired by her grandmother’s old thread collection, her love of color, and material exploration, Amarette sought to “create a visual conversation between disparate elements.” The tension and balance between the two materials, the sheen of hard metal, the lush, vibrant bundle of threads makes for an exciting and surprising adornment.
Join us for SoWa Art Walk weekend: May 5 & 6, 12- 6pm daily
Join us December 7th for our opening reception of Say It With Flowers. This solo exhibition will feature the masterful works of Aurélie Guillaume, a French-Canadian jeweller, enamellist and illustrator from Montréal.
"My work celebrates the history of enamelling and its longstanding tradition of storytelling dating back most notably to the Byzantine era, where enamelling was used to depict religious icons. Using these traditional techniques, my work revives the medium through a contemporary context fuelled by street art, comics, pop art and counter culture. Employing a combination of jewellery techniques and illustration, my work mixes high and low art, while transporting viewers into a world more colourful and dreamlike than our own. Through the process of enamelling, my illustrations transcend the two-dimensional realm of paper and are given new life in the physical world as wearable objects. With this work, I am reviving the traditions of enamelling, as well as bringing sculpture and illustration into the context of contemporary jewellery."

Christine Jalio is an internationally acclaimed contemporary jewelry artist based in Lapua, Finland. She has exhibited her work in top galleries and craft fairs across Europe. In 2015 she was awarded second place in Enjoya't Awards in Barcelona, Spain. Selections from her evocative body of work entitled Past, Loss, Future will be on view at Melle Finelli Studio from December 1, 2016 through January 7, 2017. An opening reception will be held December 8th from 5-9pm at in the courtyard at 46 Waltham Street in Boston's South End.
In Jalio's own words:
"I am extremely fascinated by the human psyche, intrigued by the past, old age and loss. I get excited by old and worn elements, roughness and decay. My jewellery tells stories of aging and personal loss, stories of the human life span and the transitions, choices and turning points of it. My work method is searching and questioning, my starting point always an emotion. I have great respect for good finishing, craftsmanship and skill. With my work I hope to evoke emotions in other people, move something inside of them. For me contemporary jewellery is a rebellious art with no actual rules or true limits."
