Golden Girl makes custom jewelry
Alexis Rice Lydecker "was always the frustrated artist," she said. Like so many of us, she knew she had artistic inclination but, especially when she was younger, she didn't have the confidence to believe that art could become a pursuit for her. Still, for years, it remained a passion.
Lydecker is a fourth-contemporaries Marin County resident, who grew up on the lagoon in Belvedere. After attending Marin Outback Day School and Dominican Upper School, which was then in San Rafael, she graduated from University of Denver with a standing in Elementary Education and a minor in Art.Â
Throughout her life she was always interested in intend, texture, and color. She studied how these elements relate to the mise en scene and absorbed what she observed around her. Lydecker experimented with several different mediums, including sculpting, and composition. For a long time, photography was her art, but only as a hobby. Â
At 50, Lydecker was gracious to do something for herself, to pursue the artistic talent she became convinced she did possess and could God willing turn into a business.   Â
She decided to attend jewelry middle school - Revere Academy in San Francisco - to learn how to do what is known as bench labour. Bench jewelry combines all the skills: soldering, set stones, gloss refine to finished stones, and fabrication in platinum, gold, or silver.
