Minicyn

Finally…after having spent many weeks on getting my/our ceramics workshop together …some much needed time was spent taking pictures of the pieces I’ve made for my online shop. Just need to find more to get them ready for the web! So look out for them throughout next week.
Unique pieces crafted by hand each and every-time in dark sterling silver and Mother of pearl- which was pierced and sculpted from an antique gaming coin from the 19th century.
On the second pic. I’ve kept the original engraving of the Mother of Pearl’svoriginal patterns but divided them up in quarters to make up a pair of earrings and a necklace to boot!

Earrings Galore is back! First stop - a Pop-up Exhibition during New York City Jewelry Week.
Heidi Lowe Gallery is participating in NYCJW (New York City Jewelry Week) by doing a Pop Up Earring Galore Exhibition in a gallery space on 251 Elizabeth Street from November 14-18th.

Earrings Galore, is an annual juried exhibition, exemplifying a rich and diverse array of earrings made by emerging and established studio jewelers. Each artist’s unique approach to the earring format will be represented in a cohesive grouping of earrings. The exhibition is intended to create more access for the public to see art jewelry, cultivate connections with the community and provide an opportunity for visitors to add new pieces to their jewelry collections.

Clap..c’est la fin de Rencontre dans un monde Mumbo Jumbo pour le Parcours Bijoux 2023.
I’d like to thank so many dear people I’ve met at Atelier Neerlandais during our 10day presence. Not to mentioned Karin Herwegh my colleague for being such an unpretentious, straight shooter, sensitive craftsman to work with…& her priceless partner for lending his smart designer brain & hands.
My sista who studiously translated my Mumbo Jumbo text back in 2022 into French at the last minute capturing all its nuances & subtleties for the project with all her heart.
See you all nextime ✨

L'histoire derrière l'exposition ''RENCONTRE DANS UN MONDE MUMBO JUMBO'', qui fait partie de la programmation du , présentée par et

3-13th Octobre
Mardi au vendredi (fermé le dimanche)
Vernissage le 5 octobre, 15h-19h

📎 Ne sachant où se rencontrer en tant qu'artistes étrangères, Karin Herwegh et Cynthia Nge se sont finalement rencontrées à un carrefour dans un monde mécanisé, un monde de Mumbo Jumbo (c'est-à-dire une phrase, un langage ou un rituel provoquant, ou destiné à provoquer, la confusion ou l'égarement, un labyrinthe d'arguties juridiques). N'est-ce pas le monde dans lequel nous vivons ? Un système établi et légalisé de pièces fonctionnant ensemble comme une machine...
C'est autour de ce thème que Karin et Cynthia ont créé des pièces d'ornement corporel pour traduire la narration de ce royaume en utilisant son propre choix de matériaux terreux, le bois et la céramique, pour donc illustrer de sa propre voix l'histoire de cette réaction en chaîne hocus pocus que nous devrions porter avec nous en toute conscience.

Démarrage la semaine prochaine!

Parcours Bijoux, le festival du bijou contemporain dure un mois mais notre exposition (Karin Herwegh & Cynthia Nge MINICYN) commence le mardi 3 octobre et se termine le 13.

Slowly and steadily easing back into work while the streets are half empty. I love the quiet Summer evenings while I can take my time cycling back home.
Here are some pieces freshly uploaded onto my e-shop. They're one-of-a-kind compositions each with their own story to tell. The Mother of Pearl and Bone are sourced from existing objects - to which I've either cut and carved from and joint together with minicyn's own elements in solid darkened Sterling Silver. Upcycling at its most elegant. The Dendritic cabochon was bought from a gemstone collector online.

Hello all, and hopefully you're well into your holidays or back from it! As for me, I've just returned from the beautiful Beaufortin Massif mountains in the French Alps...ready but slowly moving back into work. Here are some pieces newly uploaded onto my e-shop.

Hello you all lovelies,

A big THANK YOU to those who made it to NY Mad About Jewellery event (& to the organisers), it was a wonderful & memorable experience - such an enriching time with an eclectic international group of contemporary jewellers and visitors. Filled my heart with joy in every way, being able to continue to do what I do and meet people with equal degree of excitement for creativity.

These guys from the Connections collection attached were a hit! So here are some pieces in stock going up in my eshop in a few hours ready to ship.

Thank you for your support! Without you there'd be no minicyn.

Warm regards,
Cynthia
