JEWELRY TRUNK SHOW
By POTLUCK PARIS
Saturday, October 9, 12 - 7pm
Potluck Paris
The Potluck Paris jewelry collection launched after a holiday to Paris in 2001. Owner Patti McKillop happened upon a petite boutique that carried the jewelry she had so admired on many other diners at the small cafe. After a chance meeting with the owner/artist Bernard Bouhnik, she was thrilled to return home with not only her personal gifts, but an agreement to distribute the collection in the United States.
Seven years later, the Potluck collection has grown to include four European companies. Each piece of jewelry has its own special look, blending different recycled metals, using copper, pewter and silver and some with fine Swarovski crystals.
The greater part of the line is made of recycled mixed metal. European artisans combine different vintage metals (i.e. flatware and teapots) and then create molds to construct their various creations.
This handcrafted line includes chunky rings, hammered cuffs, wrist links, patterned metal pendants, chains, felted wool hoop adornments, and many others. So many interesting shapes, textures and patterns to choose from, see the complete collection.
