The name "passionate reason" originated with an essay the owner wrote several years ago. She had noticed that the word passion was usually considered at odds with reason. People seemed to reserve passion for irrational beliefs, mysticism, and extremist ideologies. Why, she wondered, couldn't people be passionate about science, about reality, about reason? Why were these things considered sterile and unworthy of emotion? It's true that logic, divorced from emotion, can be cold and uninspiring. But passion without reason is dangerous and scary. Ideally, instead of conflicting, they should complement each other. Art is one endeavor that expresses both capabilities working together.Passion and the thrill of inspiration become a purpose that ties together everything the artist knows about originality, craft, and the creative process. Art is both cerebral and imaginative, passionate and logical. Fashioned by a talented artist, the finished product can be amazingly beautiful. Nothing illustrates this better than art jewelry. Each piece reflects the artist's unique thought process and passion for beauty. Passionate Reason only selects jewelry that excels in mirroring both facets of the creative process. We hope that the jewelry inspires in our customers the same passion the artist experienced in originating it, and also an appreciation for the "reason" that contributed to its meticulous creation.
