Lorelei Eurto

Inspiration is never more than a foot away, as Lorelei Eurto works full time in an Art Museum in Upstate New York. She has been creating handmade beaded and wire jewelry for the past 5 years, and is a self-taught jewelry designer. Inspired by nature, texture, shapes, and color, Lorelei creates fun art jewelry that is easy to wear. Each piece is a collaboration of sorts, as she enjoys using other artisan made jewelry components in each of her designs. Another strong element in Lorelei’s jewelry is asymmetry. Creating designs that are asymmetrical, with focal points that are strategically placed at any point on a necklace or bracelet helps draw the eye around the entire piece. Lorelei has taught a class at bead shop in Raleigh about the fundamentals of designing without limits, where she demonstrates an interesting diagram to use when putting together an asymmetrical design.

You can find Lorelei's designs in Chain Style by Jane Dickerson, Wire Style 2 by Denise Peck, BeadStyle magazine, Jewelry Stringing magazine, Step by Step Beads, Step by Step Wire, and various other beading magazines.
