Inspired by the mystical allure of gemstones and the versatility of chainmaille, the creations of Steel & Crystal Jewelry are a reflection of the owner, Gia Jobe’s passion to handcraft beaded pieces with stainless steel. By combining the opulent sparkle of crystals, glass and gemstones with the strength of stainless steel, Gia creates ancient-inspired, sparkling pieces for jewelry, fashion accessories and home décor.
There is an avant-garde quality to many of the pieces at Steel & Crystal Jewelry. I select beads with unique characteristics or cuts and try to complement the stone, crystal or glass beads with simple, elegant designs based on chainmaille pattern influences. I also research the stone’s history/lore and promote interesting tidbits that would delight the customer and give the piece more meaning. For glass pieces, I choose only handcrafted lampwork beads that have dimension and interesting colours. Stainless steel is foundation of my pieces because its strength, durability and natural lustre that does not tarnish so the piece will stay beautiful for a long time.
