Master Wood Carver, Kees Luchs lives on the edge of the Lantzville Foothills on Vancouver Island, overlooking the Georgia Strait. In his cedar sheltered workshop, he pursues his passion of making beautiful items from local and non-endangered exotic hardwoods.
Each piece of hardwood is carefully selected for grain and colour configuration, so that no two items are ever the same.
Now Kees has created a new collection of one-of-a-kind Jewellery using some of the most beautiful hardwoods that he has been working with for many years. Fabulous pendants made using Vancouver Island Birds Eye Maple or Spalted Maple & Tiger-wood. Each pendant comes in its own gift box and has a very durable cord 20 inches in length. Pendants have sterling silver attachments and a very secure lobster claw fastening.
Hardwood Earrings have been made using Maple, Blue Aloewood & Purple Heart woods. The hooks and findings are made from Sterling Silver and each pair is presented in a box together with details about the artist and type of woods used. Pendants made from Walnut wood or Zebrawood earrings look superb for any occasion.
Kees European background and his love for elegant simplicity is evident in the clean flowing, organic lines of his all his work and is highlighted in his new Jewellery collection. Kees unique work has for many years been sold in juried shows and fine art galleries, finding homes on every continent but Antarctica.
All of Kees work is made on Vancouver Island.
Every pendant and earrings comes with their own presentation box along with details of the artist and woods used – making for a perfect unique gift. You can see Kees fabulous new jewellery collection at Side Street Studio, Oak Bay Village, Victoria, B.C.
