Gem & I, Madison, WI
Margaret Flynn and Rose Ann Findlen, not native to Wisconsin, found themselves planted there, took root and grew to love the beauty of the four seasons of the state. Their jewelry reflects the colors, shapes, and textures of Wisconsin's natural beauty they see when they look up from their jewelry tables to the sumptuous views from their windows. The red, gold and burgundy of autumn, the aqua and green of Lake Monona, the changing shades of lavender, pink and rose in their gardens all inspire their gemstone, pearl, metal and bead weaving creations.
