I built this bracelet around the quiet magic of rutilated crystal — stones that look like they've trapped lightning inside glass.
Each bead is a translucent quartz sphere threaded with golden rutile needles, ranging from nearly clear to warm honey-gold depending on the light. Some read icy and ethereal; others glow amber. No two are the same, and that variation is exactly what drew me to them. Each bead is secured to the band with a silver rivet — a tiny anchor point that lets each stone sit proud and catch the light from every angle.
The band itself is oxidized sterling silver, hammer-textured and formed into a locking hinge bangle. The hinge mechanism opens cleanly and closes with a satisfying click — no fumbling with clasps. The dark oxidized surface makes the pale, luminous beads pop in a way that a bright silver finish never could.

Art In Motion Jewelry is handcrafted by artist Cheryl Whitney-Huebner. Every piece is entirely hand fabricated — created, photographed, and shipped by my hands alone. I do not mass produce. I use only the highest-quality materials, and you can expect slight natural variations in the raw metal. These are not imperfections — they are the soul of the piece.

Peace, Love, and Creativity — Cheryl
I’m Cheryl Whitney-Huebner, the artist and metalsmith behind Art In Motion Jewelry.
Each piece begins at my Texas workbench and is fabricated individually by hand. I allow the metal, stone and process to guide the final form, preserving the textures and subtle variations that give handmade work its life.
Metal is my medium. Life is my muse.
Some of my cabochons begin as rough stone and are cut, shaped and polished by me in my Texas studio. Other gemstones are individually sourced and selected for their natural color, character and distinctive markings.
Whether cut by my hands or carefully chosen, each stone guides the design of the one-of-a-kind piece created around it.
Natural variations and inclusions are not imperfections—they are part of the stone’s story.
Your jewelry is carefully protected and beautifully presented using recyclable, recycled or responsibly sourced packaging whenever possible.
Every package is prepared by hand with the same care given to the piece inside—
considering both its safe arrival and the impact of the materials used.
