Christina Jarmolinski's Jewelry in Pulse Magazine

In 2011 Pulse Magazine of Naples Florida featured my jewelry. The theme was Punk Art. It was the first time I was challenged to make Punk Art jewelry so I custom designed pieces for this event. I included corals to enhance the drama of the photo-shoot.

Lapis Lazuli

"Lapis lazuli has been popular through most of recorded human history. Mining for lapis occurred in the Badakhshan Province of northeastern Afghanistan as early as 7000 BC. The lapis was used to make beads, small jewelry items and small sculptures. These have been found at neolithic archeological sites dating back to about 3000 BC in Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan."
Vincent van Gogh, Vermeer, Titian and many other painters painted the robe of Mary in lapis blue - ultramarine pigments, lapis ground for these purposes.

Turquoise

"The earliest record of turquoise being used in jewelry or in ornaments is from Egypt. There turquoise has been found in royal burials over 6000 years old. About 4000 years ago, miners in Persia produced a blue variety of turquoise with a "sky blue" or "robin's egg blue" color. This material was very popular and traded through Asia and into Europe. This is the source of the term "Persian Blue" color."
