Jean Cheely
The ancient art of personal adornment is fascinating. 
Cheely loves working with precious metals, precious and semi-precious stones, nature’s pearls and her own glass elements to create wearable art objects. 
Internationally known Master Jewelry Artist and metals expert, MaryAnne Scherr, especially inspired her. “She taught me how to harness the beauty and transformation of metals into my own style for jewelry.”
