Medium: handmade glass with sterling silver chain

Artist Statement: The Spanish word for matchstick 'Fosforo' was the first name to come to mind when designing this necklace over 15 years ago. Since that time, the Fosforo Necklace's ever-changing color palette has allowed it to remain a perennial favorite with custom requests that symbolize birth month colors, sorority affiliations, and seasonal color schemes. Much larger than the original Fosforo Necklace, shown here is the the candy-colored rainbow Fosforo Corona Necklace, so named as the colors are designed to radiate from their wearer like a corona.

About the Artist: Krista Bermeo Studio is a two-person, woman-owned glass lampworking studio that designs and creates every piece of jewelry in-house. Our aesthetic is a clear, focused, and minimal design that doesn't compete, but always accentuates. Krista's work is carried at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, Newfields, Chemers Gallery, JA Sharp Gallery, Wantoot, and other boutiques and museum stores across the county and Canada. She is currently designing collections for The Phoenix Museum of Art, The Getty Center, and the Detroit Institute of Art. Her studio is located in an old downtown Indianapolis warehouse with neighbor and sometimes-collaborator Gravesco Pottery
