Deborah, Tuch
RISD ’96 [Jewelry + Metalsmithing]
In 1996 Debbie Tuch created Glitter Limes at DB Works, her San Francisco-based jewelry design studio. Known for her clean design of contemporary hand-fabricated jewelry, Tuch says her work with precious metals and gems is “reminiscent of what you might find in a fairy tale set in the future.” For Glitter Limes, she pursues her long fascination with both the natural and the fantastic by transforming actual slices of fruit into pins, barrettes, earrings and ornaments. In addition to lemons, limes and oranges, she works with kiwi, prickly pear, persimmon, starfruit and lotus, among others. Tuch fully preserves the natural structure of the fruit, then adds an exciting glow to both decorate and reinforce it.
