Felted wool adds a colorful pop to Cara Romano’s line of finely crafted silver jewelry. Although the ‘Abacus’ collection isn’t quite kinetic, it does suggest movement and makes me want to reach out and touch.

From the Abacus Collection
“With each new collection of work, patterns emerge, design presents itself. Vulnerability within me arises as the sacred is revealed. Each piece of jewelry is a part of my being.” Cara Romano
From the Painted Felt Collection

Abacus Bracelet
Romano recently won an award for her booth design at the ACC show in Baltimore. The young designer hung vibrant, colorful paper lanterns of different sizes at the back of the booth, creating a clean, cohesive design that “visually connected to the balls of colored felt that she uses in her jewelry work.”
View the whole portfolio here. I look forward to seeing more from Romano. If you want to keep up with her too, she has a Facebook Fan Page.
