Dicrhoic glass is one of the hottest materials being used by artisans today. The brilliance of dichroic glass must be experienced first hand.

Talented jewelry artist, Linda Shull, incorporates her own handmade fused dichroic art glass with sterling silver in whimsical and fun patterns. She uses the kinetic qualities of dichroic glass to create depth, movement and intensity. Each glass piece is unique because Linda continuously experiments with her medium, adding metals and crushed glass to her kiln-fired pieces. She has developed a special technique in assembling the glass for fusing.

Over the years Linda’s jewelry has been showcased internationally in art galleries and museum stores. She wants her jewelry to give people joy and amusement in their daily lives. The unique creativity she expresses through her glass is sure to bring smiles to both the wearer of her pieces and the casual observer.

These days most of us know what time it is by looking at our cell phones so we no longer have to wear watches for practical reasons.  Watches have become pure fashion items and should serve as a statement rather than timepieces. There are several styles of handcrafted watches from a collection of jewelry artists at Gallery Five. Visit, browse, shop online.

The dials on a Eduardo Milieris watch is individually hand painted by the artist. He works on silver, copper and brass in the same ways they were used hundreds of years ago.

Uruguay-born artist Eduardo Milieris has been fascinated by the integration of art and time since he was a child. Today he combines art with time in his beautiful limited-edition handcrafted watches. Milieris’ designs are “industrial chic” – made from recycled metals, embellished with sterling silver, copper, and brass. The metals are distressed and oxidized to give the watches a look akin to “buried treasure.” Finally, the artist paints each watch face by hand, giving it a distinct appearance.

 I work on silver, copper, and brass in the same ways they were used hundreds of years ago, preserving a tradition of craftsmanship.  My timepieces suggest the reality of constant change and evolution.
