Artist Statement
kara | daniel is the aesthetic and ethical jewelry collaboration emerging from artist Kara Aubin and Daniel Juzwiak. Daniel first studied Architecture and completed his training in Metal Work/Jewelry at the University of Michigan. Daniel is drawn to make jewelry that holds a strong line and accomplishes a technical feat. Using traditional blacksmithing methods his technician’s hand is evident in every painstakingly hand-forged stainless steel ring and uniquely tension-set gemstone. Kara brings an eye for color and a penchant for offbeat asymmetrical designs. As an artist Kara ensures that each design moves with you and elegance endures. Her exploration of the inherent beauty in natural elements is evident in the raw and rustic material selection the duo utilizes. kara | daniel is created by the artists in their Kalamazoo MI studio with an eye on ethically sourced materials. Recycled fair-mined and non-conflict metals and gemstones are primary in their designs.
