Peden, Elayne
Artist Statement
I believe that jewelry is meant to be worn, not just saved away for a special occasion that may never come. Each day should be special in it’s own way. What we choose to wear not only reflects but affects our mood.
My chosen label “Tessera” is an art term meaning “one piece of the mosaic”. Each item of clothing and jewelry that you wear is part of the mosaic that is you… Make each piece count.
About Elayne Peden
I have spent time in many different areas of the country and have been inspired by the beauty of nature and different cultures that make these places their home. Out of these inspirations have come the different designs and color combinations I use in my pieces. I believe that each piece should be a statement about the wearer, so I welcome the opportunity to make custom pieces for those who don’t find just the right one for them.
During an extended visit to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Southern Colorado, a friend convinced me to turn my casual pastime of purse and jewelry making and henna tattooing into a business.
