Marti Brown has been designing jewelry for more than 25 years.
Marti received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in jewelry making from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. She has studied jewelry and enameling techniques with Richard Mawdsley, Gene and Hiroko Pijanowski, Kent Vanderplas, Heiki Seppa, Eric Lowry, Bill Harper, Bill Helwig, Martha Banyas and Carole Wilcox.

Her most recent work includes a combination of Niobium, Silver, Gold and Precious Metal Clay® with beads and other accents. It is the color possiblities in the Niobium (Nb) that appeals to her in designing.

Her niobium jewelry is colored using a paint brush wired to heranodizer producing a painterly, softer look than is normally found in Nb and titanium jewelry.

All of Marti's designs are classics, with an eye toward transcending the limits imposed by faddish fashinon trends. Her color combinations are attractive and versatile, easily accessorizing a wide range of clothing styles and decors.

Marti's current jewelry lines include earrings, pins, necklaces, cufflinks, and tie chains. She has also introduced a line of framed nobium art pictures. Her jewelry is sold in many shops and galleries in the US.

Marti is a member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, and the Bucks County Guild of Craftsmen.
