Krista Bermeo

Krista Bermeo’s clean, contemporary designs are realized in a variety of materials including gold, silver, titanium, and glass. She began her career designing jewelry for The Children's Museum of Indianapolis in 2005, initially focusing on playful organic forms captured in molten glass using gravity and dental tools to form desired shapes.

Now producing jewelry primarily for adults, Bermeo’s designs are still characterized by her fascination with light and an aesthetic balance between elegance and play. She creates delicate shapes reminiscent of diatoms, dewdrops, pebbles, twigs, and bits of magnified sand. Recently, she has collected shards of broken glass left after her home city of Indianapolis was roiled by civil unrest; she softens the edges of each fragment under her torch to create unique constellations of time and place. All of her work is created in her downtown Indianapolis studio.
