Perle Amies custom jewelry

My friend, Hege Nolop of Perle Amies, is a talented jewelry designer. Having spent several years in Paris, it's fair to say that her artistry has been influenced by the culture and history that surrounded her on a daily basis. The unique, handmade pieces often make reference to Paris. Sometimes overtly by including such things as mini Eiffel towers in her charms, or colourful Champagne caps in her bracelets and necklaces. Other times more subtly, by the use of original crystals from Parisian chandeliers. These components are handpicked from antique markets in France! You'll be guaranteed to find something that interests you in her collection. And what you can't find, she will custom make for you! Hege called upon me recently to give her some pointers for how to photograph jewelry. We talked about everything from camera settings to editing, lenses, backdrops and lighting. We both liked the idea of photographing the pieces on a natural backdrop to compliment the style of the jewelry. Below are a few examples, both of the jewelry and the photography. I'm so exited to see where she will take it from here. Be sure to check out her online store, or better yet, go see her and her art in person at the First Saturday Arts Market in Houston Heights. I know she would love it if you stopped by for a browse and a chat.
