Mark Needham Jewelry
One-of-a-Kind Designs
Requires Flash Player 9
My education as an
architect was the beginning of my formal
exploration of basic forms and pleasing
proportions. I was always drawn to the elegantly
simple, unadorned solutions exemplified by
Scandinavian, Japanese, Dutch and German
architecture and industrial design. I have
participated in the Louisville arts scene for over
thirty years, exhibiting photography, drawings,
sculpture, and graphic design as well as jewelry.
The work produced by my multi-disciplinary design
company, GOOD IDEA!,
emphasizes unique
design solutions and unexpected use of
materials.
My jewelry reflects my love of sculptural and architectural forms and my pleasure in creating entirely new ways to combine familiar materials. Each piece is made by hand—either custom milled or turned on a lathe and then hand-finished in a variety of textures. The metal is aluminum and each design is one-of-a-kind. My designs appeal to women and men who appreciate modern design and enjoy the attention that wearing art generates. Prices range from relatively inexpensive to moderately expensive, depending on materials and complexity. Many necklace designs incorporate magnetic or friction closures of my own design and manufacture. My unique jewelry is available in museums, galleries and retail stores around the country.
The website is almost finished. Later I'll have a few items for sale directly from the site and a database that will show what's in stock.
Current catalogs are available for download by clicking here.
