Thanks to rock and roll designers like Steven Shein of Lee Riot, acrylic jewelry–think plastic rainbows, guns, and guitars hanging from necklaces and earrings–now has an edgy reputation. But Denver-based artist Sandra Fettingis refuses to let acrylic knock class. With a background in digital illustration and portraiture, Fettingis cuts Victorian-style cameos and clean geometric shapes from acrylic sheets to create a stylishly playful look for her affordable earrings and necklaces ($24-$30). Her technique–which she references in her brand name, “Handmade. On a Computer”–requires that she sketches her designs digitally before they are laser-cut into acrylic.
