Tom Odell - Jewelry

The jewelry designs separate themselves into two categories. The first is work done completely in the so called "precious" metals, primarily 18K golds, platinum and sterling silver and various other alloys and colors of gold, which may or may not be set with gemstones or pearls. The second is work done in a much broader variety of metals and alloys including all the "precious" metals plus the addition of a group of copper based alloys used in traditional Japanese metalwork and frequently patinated with various processes to extend the range of colors available in the compositions.

While he has done all types of jewelry including rings, earrings, necklaces, hairpieces, cufflinks and buckles, his main focus has been on brooches and bracelets as they offer the most freedom for producing the types of sculptural pieces he is interested in.

The main consideration with all the pieces are the sculptural aspects, which are achieved when the abstract qualities of harmony, rhythm and dynamic balance are expressed and integrated using the sculptural elements of three dimensional form, texture and color with the metals and other materials used.

Design influences come from many different sources although he finds many Japanese design and aesthetic principles very appealing. Along with design, the comfort and wearability of the pieces as well as the workmanship and finish are the distinguishing characteristics of his work.

The jewelry is exhibited with a number of galleries specializing in contemporary jewelry as well as invitational shows and at the gallery in Chatham, MA. While much of his work is his own design and creation he does accept commission work where pieces are designed with consultation with a client and made to order. Restoration and repair work is undertaken upon consultation also.
