Heidi Gardner jewelry has a macabre slant to its beauty. Pieces are modeled after a pelvis, spinal cord, skulls which are then inset with jewels. The native New Yorker may have found her inspiration with bones and anatomy from her background as a ballet dancer. A dancer has such intense physicality that one would definitely be aware of every bone and muscle in her body.
Her fans include musicians like Madonna and Rihanna. Her other influences include movies like The Exorcist, A Clockwork Orange and German anatomy drawings.
