This multimedia necklace begins on an etching press: the choker is made of tiny collagraphs, a textured relief printing process. Printed by the artist on ‘washable paper’— a German-made product made from cellulose and synthetic latex, she assembled the necklace with vinyl coated stainless steel cable and vintage ceramic beads. There is no clasp, but this springy necklace fits easily over the wearer's head.
Clean as needed with a damp cloth. Soy-based inks are archival and fade proof.

aKresse Jewelry Design
"I create jewelry out of alternative materials. Why not a paper necklace, or a pair of rubber earrings, or a polyester pendant? The potential to be a piece of jewelry is everywhere and can be made of just about anything."

An idea begins the design process, but the visual pleasure of owning and wearing a unique object is the end result. Alice Kresse's aesthetic is playful but modern and her chosen materials are mostly non-precious and often non-traditional. Though often modest in origin, these materials gain new value in the form of jewelry.

Traditional materials such as sterling silver, gold and copper are combined with the unexpected: stainless steel, epoxy resin, polypropylene, hand printed paper and rubber. There are unexpected juxtapositions within in a piece too: gems and pearls are set into epoxy resin, handprinted paper is combined with steel wire, gold leaf is applied to polyester.

Alice Kresse graduated from Ohio University in Athens Ohio with a BFA in Printmaking. After a long career as an art director and graphic designer in news and publishing, she found jewelry. On a whim she took a small metals class at the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington DC. It sparked her evolution from the digital and print world to hand made wearable craft.
