Silver Suspensions

Terena Agle has been designing and hand
crafting sterling silver beaded wire jewelry
since the late 1980's. Her start came about on
Granville Island, apprenticing under an archi-
tect turned jeweller, his mantra was "it is
made right because it is made by hand". This
holds true still today in her strive for perfec-
tion and continuing the unique geometric
style. Every piece is a thoughtful creation, al-
lowing parts to flow freely...to come to life.
Organic textures combined with colourful
beads, semi-precious & precious stones, crys-
tals and 14K gold compliment her designs cre-
ating an essence of vitality that is truly inspir-
ing.

Today, Terena creates from her bright, sunny
Boundary Bay studio, just steps to the beach. As she has evolved as an artist so have
her techniques. She has developed her own eclectic style of form, forge and functional
jewelry design.

The inspiration of the stunning West Coast has given rise to a line of beautiful home de-
cor items that have embraced an unconventional stain glass technique creating beauti-
ful vases and sculptures. Terena's passion for creating unique and extraordinary works
of art has shaped Silver Suspensions, and she is honoured to share it with you.

West Coast Wood Creations
v

People talk about the things they
love and for this reason that is why
I started this journey in wood
carving.

I started working in the forest in-
dustry at a young age of 18 while
spending the last 30 years of my
career as a Faller.

My time working has allowed me
to see the natural beauty of Van-
couver Island and the pristine
West Coast. I have always been
attracted to wood carvings which
has given me the inspiration to
create some of these pieces.

When not in the shop carving
or learning new techniques, I can
be found out on the water salmon
fishing and enjoying
my retirement.
