About the Artist

Lisa Ceccorulli started making jewelry in a Connecticut high school craft class and won her first award in the arts in 1975.  After studying jewelry repair and working in the jewelry trade business, she moved to Florida where the outdoor greenery inspired her “3-5-7 Japanese Garden Collection.”  Lisa’s work can currently be seen in galleries and stores across the country.

About the Work

The markings on Lisa Ceccorulli’s earthy, yet contemporary, jewelry designs appear in groups of three, five, and seven. This particular numeric grouping is a concept derived from traditional Ancient Japanese Gardens.  The shapes of her jewelry pieces are also inspired by these gardens, as they resemble stepping stones used to make walkways through the landscape.  These stones (as well as some of the plants) are arranged in groups of threes, fives and sevens. Some Buddhist temples today still have gardens arranged according to this principle.  The numbers have many spiritual meanings, including balance and harmony, and are believed to be positive omens.

“I like to look at three, five, seven as symbols of steps to contentment.  Perhaps 3-5-7 will have some special meanings for you…?”                 -Lisa Ceccorulli
