"At any given moment, your life events can morph into ART." CJ Harlan
CJ Harlan Designs are inspired by the things we may see everyday, but seldom take time to notice or appreciate.
Color combinations, texture, and even design shapes...
Often come from nature, the environment, and the components she selects for each piece she creates.

CJ creates designs using only the finest quality components which can include: precious and semi-precious gems, pearls, amber, wood, resin, crystals, Czech and vintage glass, fibers and fine metals. You will often find authentic handmade Bali silver and gold vermeil beads incorporated into her designs. Although she
loves metal-smithing, a large portion of her designs rely on various old and new stringing techniques. Wirework is also a signature of CJ Harlan Designs, yet
offering organic designs without metal components, is also very important...making sure that anyone can wear a CJ Harlan Design. For pieces without metal, you will find CJ's stamp of "MF" on the jewelry tags for these designs.
Fine silver, sterling silver, gold, gold vermeil, copper and niobium are the most common metals CJ chooses for accent and for function. Even when a design choice leans toward another metal, whenever possible all metal components are nickle-free and clearly marked if there is a possibility for sensitivity. To learn more about the individual components that may be used when creating any of CJ's designs, please check out the Design Component Glossary, that she has provided...located under the "Classes" tab on her CJ Harlan Designs website.
