LOOSE GEMS
TRUNK SHOW—SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 12:00–7:00 p.m.
 Judy Knose,
jewelry artist, collector, and gem specialist, returns to BNOX to
showcase a stunning collection of colorful and unusual loose stones,
such as fiery Mexican jelly opals, six-rayed trapiche sapphires, and
natural diamonds, among many others. Knose, along with a cadre of
renowned jewelry designers, will be on hand to talk about the origins of
the stones, as well as assist interested clients in creating a
one-of-a-kind piece of their own.
Working one-on-one with Knose, as well as artists
Lori Braun, Andy Olive, and Rebecca Paquette Johnson,
clients will have the opportunity to create a piece of jewelry to
commemorate any milestone imaginable. These artists will have individual
examples of their work on hand as inspiration or for purchase that day.
Clients are encouraged to bring their own loose gems and gold from home
to incorporate into their dream jewelry. Interested parties are asked to
call Rebecca at 715.442.2201 to schedule a private two-hour
consultation.
Last fall, one local husband and wife collaborated with Olive to create
a special piece in honor of their wedding anniversary. The resulting
pendant, a multi-faceted heliodore (yellow-green) beryl set in white
gold, is a piece made significant in that couple designed it together.
It seems especially appropriate that beryl is thought by some to contain
mystical properties that promote the love of married couples.
What will you design?

The shop, named after a
loving and mysterious term of endearment used
in letters exchanged between Ted's grandparents, has been located on the
village of Pepin, Wisconsin's historic waterfront for eleven years.
Pat Dillon writes in Madison Magazine...
"BNOX
Gold & Iron represents a plethora of area painters, photographers,
textile artists, iron workers and jewelry makers. Owners Becky and Ted
Johnson are both artists and Pepin natives whose enthusiasm for their
hometown and their gallery is evident from the inside out."
