My art is free-form wirework jewelry, composed of sterling silver or 14K gold-filled wire and adorned with semi-precious stones and/or Swarovski crystals. The most popular items are earrings, but I’ve recently started selling matching necklaces that have been in high demand. I make spoon rings as well. The market for those is more saturated, so I usually wait until I can get a set of unique spoons to better stand out from the other artists. My bestsellers were a “presidential” set - each had a president’s face engraved on one, along with a fun fact and years served.
Whatever I have in my booth, I aim to give all the pieces a modern contemporary style, and they are all original designs. They are handmade, using a variety of pliers, cutters, hammers, and mandrels to give them one-of-a-kind textures and shapes. I bring my tools and materials to art fairs to have demonstrations and to make customizations for patrons.
