The objective is to graphically represent the positive messages behind the jewelry of Diana Warner Studio. Specifically, we are looking to promote:
The Ocean necklace, which encourages women to be move beyond their comfort zone and live in the ocean, not the pool.
The Obligato necklace, which encourages us to give back to the needy. You can create work for either of the two pieces and submit as many graphics as you like.

If you can include the jewelry in the design, great. If not, that's OK too.
Initially, our plan was to use the submitted graphics in an online marketing campaign: on our website and in emails to our 500+ boutiques who carry our merchandise, etc...
We've never done this before, however, and we're open to anything. If possible, we would love to also use some of the art in our product packaging, brochures, or really anything creative!
UPDATE: From the looks of the first few graphics submitted, it seems that we weren't clear in what we're looking for. Flex your creative muscle and design ART that's different to the graphics we supplied on the flickr site. For example, play around in photoshop and see if you can get a pool to transition into an ocean. Show us something to blow our minds!
Images of the jewelry are posted at the flickr site We'll be adding more shortly.
If you'd like to buy a piece at wholesale price and have the ability to to take additional photos, please contact dianawarner(at)gmail.com
Obligato...
Two hand hammered gold and silver ovals dangle from a delicate sterling silver chain, and the circular shape reminds the wearer that this is a gift that truly gives back. The name "Obligato" is Portuguese for "something that one cannot live without." Water is something that we cannot live without. Each necklace provides 10 Africans with clean water for a year, so the wearer not only has a beautiful piece of jewelry, but they also have the knowledge that they improved and touched the life of 10 people in South Africa. Due to Obligato necklace sales, Diana Warner has been able to build a well in South Africa! For more information on the 1000 Wells Project visit: bloodwatermission.org/1000well...
Ocean
The "Ocean" necklace reminds us to live in the ocean of life and not the pool of life. Though the ocean is more dangerous, it is also more vast, more beautiful, and more adventurous. Hand hammered in 18kt plate or sterling, this beautiful piece of abalone shell hangs on a 18 inch chain and is accompanied by a beautiful gold disc one side hammered with texture.
