Sometimes you need to slow down, laugh at your situation, and just breathe.

My jewelry is created from solid copper, brass, sterling silver, cultured pearls, Swarovski Crystals, vintage treasures and other odds and ends; and the sentiments and sayings are all hand-stamped. (Please refer to the photos for the specifics of this piece.)

The copper in this creation has a beautiful patina. If you prefer a shinier look, a little salt and lemon juice will leave it sparkling like new.

Where some see trash, I see possibilities and history. I love to repurpose things, and this gives my jewelry a whimsical and sentimental feeling. I also love imperfections; in my jewelry and in my life. They keep things interesting.

The industrial nature of my work was most influenced by my Father and Grandfather. My Dad was a steelworker, and he raised me with an appreication for metals of all kinds. My granfather was an avid collector of the discarded, and he passed along the thrill of the hunt to me.

I hope that you will enjoy this creation and my work in general. If you have a question or a request for a custom creation, please contact me via ArtFire Conversations.
