Brana is know for his innovative work in creating metallic textures.  These statement cuffs and metallic earrings are handcrafted from affordable metals including aluminum and brass.  Textures include hammered, chased, and a new bark-style which is relevant to his signature Muir Wood Collection of Nature-Inspired Jewelry.

John S. Brana’s collections of unique handcrafted jewelry, made from high quality and hand picked materials, is characteristic of the designer’s main inspiration: Mother Nature.

Brana states, “Nature is my primary source of inspiration. Whether I’m driving down the coast, strolling through a park, or tending my garden, the natural world shows that the creative combinations of colors, textures, patterns, shapes, and symbols are endless.”
Brana’s latest collection of earrings features beautiful, lightweight, and colorful pieces reminiscent of lily pads floating on a pond’s surface. The artist’s original designs and finely detailed accents set the earrings a part from the crowd and classify them as works of art at accessible price points.
All earrings in this collection are made of handcrafted copper, aluminum, and sterling silver leaf with red and turquoise patina. More colors and styles will be available, including tiered pendant necklaces and bracelets with the same leaf inspiration. The artist creates all of his jewelry in his studio in San Francisco.
