Hailing from the worlds of fashion design and apparel manufacturing, set and costume design, Fine Art and the creation of her own biomorphic wall sculptures, Erika Garell couldn’t be more excited about her newest creative adventure, eclectiQuas.
eclectiQuas features one of a kind and limited production eclectic jewelry, produced with antique porcelain and vintage bone china from around the world, and paired with gold-plated and sterling silver settings and findings, and stunning embellishments such as tassels and pearls.
eclectiQuas style was born from a diverse combination of Erika’s artistic interests and cultural influences. Over the course of her creative life, Erika has developed a unique bicultural aesthetic as a half Japanese, half British-American woman, that she embraces in her work as both an artist and designer. Erika has always been fascinated by the Japanese and English sensibilities as they relate to chinaware, and in particular, the crossover of the two aesthetics through Imari china. The rich colors, unlikely color combinations, intricate patterns, use of gold and silver, and the beautiful composition of each plate influence the design and uniqueness of each piece of eclectiQuas jewelry. Together with the elegant gold and silver settings and findings, and the striking accents such as freshwater pearls and Swarovski® crystals, eclectiQuas jewelry honors the rich tradition of the antique porcelain and vintage bone china used to give each original jewelry piece a new, repurposed, and celebrated life.
