Living the Artful Life!
Vintage Modern Urban Rustic
Artisan Jewelry & Supplies
All Jewelry designs are hand- fabricated, using hand tools, refined recycled sterling silver, copper, brass,gemstones and found objects, created especially for you.
Unlike mass produced jewelry items , slight imperfections are to be expected on hand made jewelry and supplies, adding to the charm, character and uniqueness of the piece.
Please note all Sales are final and Reserved /Special / Custom Listings cannot be exchanged or returned once custom sized. Please ensure you provide us with the correct size.
Artisan Supplies
I am very fortunate at times to have help producing the artisan made supplies, from some of my family members.
For etched pieces, i use a more eco friendly solution as opposed to ferric chloride. Depending on the finish each piece is oxidized, given a patina wash, or hand colored, then finished with an acrylic sealer, and buffed with a microcrystalline wax.
( If you have questions about supplies or an item I use in my workshops, but don't see it listed or need a larger quantity please convo me, and if possible ,I will be glad to make a special listing.)
I continue to create from my urban home based studio, allowing me to keep my overhead low, and enjoy the benefits of working from home.
