They say eyes are the windows to the soul, and one groundbreaking artist has found a way to transform these windows into unique handmade jewelry. Rhys Kelly handcrafts one-of-a-kind jewelry made to look like a replica of the human eye. Each piece of jewelry by Rhys Kelly is custom-made from the heart, and she puts her heart and soul into every creation she produces. Each piece of jewelry comes with a hand-painted eyeball crafted with intense detail and care. Rhys Kelly’s mission is to create jewelry that will be valuable to the heart of its owner and can be passed down for generations. Customers also have the option to request adornments such as sparkles, rainbows, opals, diamonds, and fun adornments.
Artist Rhys Kelly uses jewelry as a medium to express herself and help people find jewelry that is unique and personalized for them. “No one sees the world in the same exact way, yet each perspective is beautiful in it’s own special way,” shared Rhys Kelly. “Too often we are wrapped up in our own little worlds and we sometimes tend to dishonor the perspectives of those around us. My goal is to bring awareness to embracing everyone’s unique perspective and remind myself and others to listen before making assumptions or judgments.” Rhys Kelly wants each customer to shine their light and feel confident of their own uniqueness when wearing the jewelry she creates.
Each custom jewelry piece is made to order and one-of-a-kind. No two pieces by Rhys Kelly are exactly the same. She did this purposefully to replicate how unique every single human eye is and how no two eyes are exactly the same. By making every piece by hand and painting each eyeball to be distinctive, Rhys Kelly has created jewelry that emphasizes a person’s individuality. “I don’t want to contribute to fast fashion,” Rhys Kelly stated. “Everything I create is a unique work of art, and I don’t believe in producing massive amounts of the same product just to profit. Every piece I make is made with the utmost love and care. I put my heart and soul into my art.”
When a customer places an order, whether it is their own eye or a loved one’s eye that they want to be replicated, Rhys Kelly begins her artistic process. Each customer uploads a photo of the eye they’d like Rhys Kelly to paint, and then she paints it with precise detail. Once the eyeball has been painted by hand, it is set into a personalized piece of fine jewelry. Rhys Kelly only uses high-quality materials in her collections. Rhys Kelly’s jewelry collections include pendants, rings, bracelets, earrings, and other fun accessories that can be set with a custom hand-painted eyeball. Rhys Kelly has modernized the art of hand painting eyes, pushing in a new wave of stylish yet sentimental jewelry.
