Welcome to Oxalis Jewelart!

Thank you for visiting Oxalis Jewelart where we design and craft unique, wearable art. Unlike "mass-produced" jewelry, Oxalis Jewelart expresses a more personalized lifestyle. It seeks to seduce one's sense of color, texture, and design in the same way that we are drawn into a painting without knowing exactly why.

Jewelry at Oxalis is first drafted on paper, then re-created at the bench. Most necklaces, bracelets and earrings are one-of-a-kind. All are handcrafted. Many pieces contain ornaments, clasps or cones that are "re-creations in fine silver" (not cast!) of the original flora or fauna of Southeast Colorado - a process that consumes the original. (We prefer to think of this as 'immortalizing' the original!) For that reason, Colorado Wild pieces cannot be duplicated. Only Jewelry in the Bridal Collection can be ordered in multiples.

In The Beginning.... A snippet from the designer's scrapbook, illustrating Patsy Oxley's creative process. The challenge here was to develop an unusual and original wrap to suspend a beach stone.

From fantasy to fancy.... Originally drawn by Patsy as an inspiration from the Art Nouveau period, this unique pendant features fine silver wings that began their lives as maple seed pods.
