DIANA HALL JEWELRY

DIANA HALL [1994, JEWELRY + METALSMITHING]

Based in Bristol, RI

Bringing together diverse influences is a key theme of Diana Hall’s Life as well as her work. It has always a challenge balancing her love for the arts with her love of water/ocean-related pursuits. Diana was introduced to the unique properties of carbon fiber while working for her father’s marine company after graduating from the jewelry and metals department at RISD in 1994.

Diana began to incorporate carbon fiber into her jewelry uniting it with precious metals to create a unique synthesis. She loved the idea of making fine jewelry out of a high-tech material that actually originates from the most essential element on earth. The immense strength and intricate woven pattern of carbon fiber beautifully complement the properties of traditional jewelry materials including gold, silver and precious stones. It’s lightweight allows her to make some unusual, strong, light pieces that she normally could not produce with any other material. Using carbon fiber with gold, silver and stones brings a softer feeling to the material. Diana likes taking a modern and “cold” material and turning it into something handmade that evokes feeling.
