Eclectic Redesigns
Julie Matos—Willow Springs, Illinois
Eclectic Redesigns creates one-of-a-kind sustainable art jewelry. All the jewelry is hand-fabricated in our studio using a primitive metalsmithing process, which is all crafted by hand and uses no machinery. This process is something we have developed over the years as we have worked with different metals. Each piece can take anywhere from one hour to three days to create, depending on the intricacy and size.
We specialize in creating casual, everyday, affordable jewelry pieces from salvaged metals and found objects, such as vintage tea tins, salvaged copper from large flat pieces, pipes, and pneumatic lines, as well as antique beads. As a company, Eclectic Redesigns prides itself on bringing awareness to the importance of handmade art as well as conservation and recycling in fashion. We are constantly evolving in technique and style that is inspired by our travels and nature.
Eclectic Redesigns has a style that stands out from other designers with many nature-themed and whimsical pieces as well as timeless statements. Our goal has been that each piece can strike a conversation about conservation. Our jewelry is light and easy to wear and can be mixed with any style: from elegant and classic to trendy and fashion-forward to earthy and relaxed.
