Introducing Ayesha Mayadas

Ayesha’s jewelry has a most wonderful sculptural quality. Here are her Autumn Leaf earrings which she textures slightly to look like leaves that have turned in the Fall.

The diamonds are reminiscent of dew. She creates an accompanying necklace fabricated with 18 links identical to these earrings and cleverly hides the catch under the links.

Ayesha was born in Calcutta, India, and moved to Rochester, NY at age 15. After college she began a career as a textile engineer. All of this time she dabbled in metal work. After 13 years in textiles, she finally gave in to her passion for metals. Initially, she followed her interest in traditional silversmithing, hammering and forming sculptural vessels. Tired of wielding a large hammer, she turned her attention to smaller pieces, wearable pieces, fine handcrafted  jewelry. She works primarily in 18 karat yellow and white gold enhanced by precious gemstones.

Here you can see her excellent stone setting craftsmanship in these enchanting stacking rings . . .

. . . and in these elegant post earrings.

She  has her own studio and retail store in Englewood, NJ. In addition, she sells her work through retailers throughout the U.S. and has participated in many national juried and invitational shows.

Come in and see this collection of Ayesha Mayadas’s jewelry at Designer Gold — as well as many other pieces of fine handcrafted jewelry, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Hope to see you soon.
