Jewelry and Coasters at Maven Boise - Boise Weekly
- Harrison Berry
There are a handful of metalworkers and jewelry artists in Boise folks should know by name. Add to their ranks Brigette Nelson, co-owner of Maven Boise, and one of the finest such artists around. Her work is versatile: A pair of her gold earrings ($38) are a kiss of order against hair of any color, touches of light, geometric elegance that doesn't bother with tedious symmetry. A chunkier silver necklace ($68) dispenses totally with subtlety, and wears less as an accent than as an eye-grabbing centerpiece. Nelson's design sensibilities port nicely beyond the body, and on to the home itself. A handful of her paintings and wood sculptures are available at Maven, but so are accessories like plates and coasters ($28) that add huge style points to the coffee table.
Maven Boise, 928 W. Main St., Unit C, $28 and up.
