“Nettie Kent has earned a cult following and loyal clientele that appreciates her organic forms, unique designs and her ethical approach to jewelry making that emphasizes sustainable design and sourcing recycled materials. Summers on the beach and winters in Brooklyn influence all of Nettie’s designs, a mix of organic shapes cast in rough golden metals. Nettie works with abandon – sketches give way to carving where she “just lets it happen” finding the piece as it unfolds itself from the wax she carves. Working texture into her designs, Kent says, “the process brings me back to my roots as a painter.”
