Vanessa Gilbert designs Art by any Means Jewelry in her Gloucester, Massachusetts studio. A jewelry designer since 1988, Vanessa has an evolved knowledge of beads and gemstones and vast resources for the newest and most exotic materials. Her education and background in the fine arts inspire her, which is evident in her compositions. Most of her designs are strung onto extra supple beading wire for form and durability, resulting in original beaded pieces on hand wrought sterling silver or gold. We love her abacus pieces due to their intricate, different and distinctive silhouettes.
