Playing with Kinetic Jewelry

Stuff We Love

Nov. 30, 2024

A few weeks ago, we learned a new term when working on our Artists & Artisans issue: kinetic jewelry. These are pieces that have a moving element, either for beauty and interest or to keep the wearer gently busy. (Think fidget spinners for the sophisticated adult.) For a local touch, check out Cedar creator Dana C. Fear’s line of earrings, necklaces, and rings. These pieces combine movement, sound, and comfort into timeless looks for all genders. We particularly like Fear’s slide rings—pictured—which have tiny bars or stones that you can slide back and forth. Prices range from $95-$500+ depending on the complexity, design, and materials. Find her shop online at danacfear.etsy.com or visit her studio at 9044 S. Kasson St. in Cedar.
