Sien Lewis, like all good artists, is able to transform isolated elements into a new form, and enhance that new form’s beauty.

A former graphic designer, and a painter, the Bridgewater resident's latest venture through her business Sien C. Designs is creating custom jewelry from items that exist in other forms, and recreating them as a new piece of art—in this case jewelry.

“I love jewelry and have always been inspired by old vintage things,” she said from her home office. ”This jewelry is about found objects, finding beauty in a small piece that exists.”

Lewis is forever searching for vintage lace. Once she finds an appealing piece, she isolates a pattern and that pattern becomes one her unique jewelry pieces.

Creating a jewelry piece, Lewis said, involves finding an appealing piece of lace, making a mold from the piece and, from there, casting silver or brass into that mold. The result is intricately formed patterns that could be said to resemble snowflakes, and which make very unique pendants.
