“Rouge Moderne” Earrings. Inspired by nature and narrative, Adam Neeley uses modern forms to create timeless and imaginative jewelry. Each piece is a wearable sculpture, crafted by hand utilizing advanced goldsmithing techniques.
The intricate design was created using CAD and grown in 54 separate parts. Laser welding allowed the prefinished parts to be connected without disturbing the satin finish and precisely fit the many small pieces together perfectly. The use of laser welding was crucial to the execution of this design. Visit www.adamneeley.com.
