Sholeh Regna

Porcelain and Birch Jewelry

Sholeh’s original jewelry designs – earrings, pins and necklaces - are sculpted from the highest-quality porcelain, with colors and textures derived from a selection of glazes she formulates herself. To achieve the desired hardness and durability, she fires the pieces in a kiln, then applies 24-carat gold, platinum, copper or mother-of-pearl accents to infuse the pieces with a lustrous finish.

In addition, she creates reversible, marbled birch earrings by first shaping the birch wood and then, using acrylic paint, marbling them on both sides. Each piece is unique and light as a feather. The final coat of shellac is applied for durability.

“My designs are inspired by nature in all its wondrous complexity of sky, land, water, and the fire of the living Earth says Sholeh. “It is through the process of sculpting, glazing, and firing that I attempt to instill each piece of my jewelry with my feelings about nature.” She  earned a Master's Degree in Digital Media and Instructional Design from Harvard University Extension School. In addition to working at her art, she has been teaching sculpture and drawing in the Boston area since 1993.
