Well, as a long time antique jewelry collector it was only a matter of time until I started making my own pieces. I love the charms specifically that came out of mostly Germany called "charivari" they were sterling silver and taxidermy parts( hunters would bring back bits to be set for good luck in the next hunt). The more charms a hunter wore the more successful and lucky he was considered!
Anyhow, I gave silversmithing a try in late 2016, the first piece I sold was an English crow digit! So much has evolved and grown from there, now I am able to create lockets of sorts and soon I will introduce cast silver work from wax which I carved! Always push yourself out of your comfort zone; you never know where things can take you!!
As much as I love creating jewelry, photos and marketing are not my strong points so please bare with me( we can't be awesome at everything can we? haha).
ALL of my animal parts are ethically sourced, none are ever harmed or killed to be apart of my jewelry. Everything is always found dead or already dead( mostly natural causes) and I will always be transparent.
