Archipelago Jewelry is a handcrafted jewelry company which features original designs by Liz Juneau. The company was begun in the spring of 2000. Inspiration comes from many sources, one of the most influential is nature - the colors, the feelings, the textures. Other inspiration is from art, fashion, music, and especially people.
The name, Archipelago (ar·chi·pel·a·go), is an analogy of a group of islands in a chain and a chain of beads.
I use a variety of materials including semi-precious stones, glass, pearls, pottery, and sterling silver, pewter, copper, and gold-filled findings. Many are one-of-a-kind creations, some even made with a special person in mind or designed especially for a person or event. Also, using vintage jewelry pieces repurposed into new designs.
As one gentleman so eloquently stated “you don’t just make beautiful jewelry, you make the women who wear your jewelry beautiful”.
