Nancy Stohl silver leaf earringsI was first introduced to Nancy Stroh’s jewelry by my neighbor, close friend, and past Prairie Wife of the Week Artist Ginny Butcher. She described Nancy’s work as “Full of life, like a painting done with loose and bold brushstrokes. Impressionistic, if that’s possible with jewelry. Expressive too.”

They are truly works of art, and I found myself taking the time to really study her jewelry, finding something new the more I looked. I can see the influence of Wyoming in this local (she lives in Sheridan, Wyoming) artists work, and I appreciate her jewelry all the more because of the subtle western touches. Her leather bracelets are my personal favorite (hint hint Cowboy) and I see in them the perfect mixture of rocker and cowgirl that I love.

I incorporate high quality semi-precious stones, genuine USA turquoise, African trade beads, freshwater pearls, 14 and 18k Gold and vintage treasures such as Mexican silver. I use Sterling silver, fine silver, solid copper or brass in my designs. I follow my artist instincts and use the materials that call out to me to create one of a kind pieces of Wearable Art. I think that my jewelry is for the woman who is not afraid to show her individuality and creativity in all that she does.”
