Glynis Cutbirth is
a Houston based jewelry designer most recognized for her exquisite and unique
combination of colors, textures and shapes. Every season her creations reflect
her current inspiration. Whether creating beaded necklaces, wire-art, or
her Trademark Crystal Flower/Starburst Pendants, her designs are both classic
and distinctive. She uses the highest quality gemstones, pearls, crystals,
non-tarnishing metals and lampwork glass beads made by
U.S. Lampwork
Glass Artisans.
The "Art Inspired Collections" were inspired by collections
from The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH),
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York and
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET), New York.
"Well…it
all began when my grandmother let me look through her big jewelry box when
I was a young girl. She had an enormous collection of costume jewelry
which was part of her daily wardrobe. She would open it up on her bed and
I would sit for hours looking through it. Of course she had a smaller
box on her vanity that was locked & off limits, but somehow I was satisfied
with the BIG one. It was like the ultimate treasure chest; I was mesmerized.
It was filled with multi-strands of beads, brooches with matching earrings,
slide bracelets and more. I felt like a princess each time I tried
them on.
When I began designing jewelry, my grandmother was one of
my first customers and my biggest fan. Even though she is no longer
with us today, I still feel her presence when
I am inspired to create. Each necklace is a design of the moment and one-of-a-kind.
My gift to you is the matching set of earrings. I hope you feel as
special wearing them as I did when wearing hers."
