Andrea Corson is a jewelry designer based in New York City who utilizes gold, 18K vermeil, and sterling silver to create some beautifully innovative, completely unique pieces of jewelry. Add into that the fact that Carson attended the Cranbrook Academy of Art, located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and received from there an MFA degree in sculpture, and you will understand why her pieces have a definite look of sculpture.

The Sterling Silver Butterfly Ring is an absolutely gorgeous example of that trait. The butterfly features absolutely exquisite detail work, with wings that look so delicate, it seems like the butterfly could fly off of the ring at any second.

This collection is known for being fun but upscale, and using materials like precious metals, semiprecious gemstones, and even for incorporating vintage treasures. Many well known celebrities favor the jewelry, such as Joss Stone and Suchin Pak of MTV.

As you can plainly see, this particular ring definitely has a vintage feel, and it works tremendously well. The cameo especially is inspired by vintage antiquity; the floral beauty is surrounded and perfectly complemented by lovely stones of lemon topaz, pink tourmaline, and freshwater pearls. The metals used are sterling silver and brass.
