Openwork used in bracelets reduces weight and adds negative space to the designs to create pieces that are wearable, breathtaking pieces of art.
Jeffrey Daniels Fancy Bracelet
Openwork in Jewelry has been used for thousands of years by a variety of cultures including the Chinese and the Romans. Scythian jewelry was highly prized by the ancient Greeks for its delicate openwork and creative designs. The Scythians, who were nomads from the area of Modern Kazakhstan, developed and perfected openwork jewelry to match their nomadic lifestyle. Openwork makes pieces far lighter and easier to transport. The Greeks and later the Romans came to prize these pieces due to their light weight, design, skill and beauty. The openwork bracelets designed by Jeffrey Daniels display all these same qualities.

A diamond bracelet is a breathtaking object. The addition of negative space and openwork adds further dimension and movement further enhancing the light refraction off the gemstones. Each Fancy Diamond catches the light at a slightly different angle drawing the eye around and around the bracelet.

Openwork also allows the jeweler greater room for creative expression. A single line of Fancy Diamonds is amazing but stylistically unoriginal. The addition of openwork gives the jewelry designer the ability to use stones in a variety of shapes including square and pear shaped stones. The resulting bracelets are exceptionally beautiful and captivating.
