13 magic days until the end of a successful Black+White show, and just in case (just in case) you missed it so far, check it out now! These earrings sold a couple of days ago and have gone to two very happy people... ...but there are still a few one of a kind pieces available, like just one pair of the earrings below! I had great fun playing around and improvising with these first black and white jewelry experiments for a BlacK+White Graffiti series, and was happy to launch five pieces on Artico this month! And, among what's left, a pendant too... Signed and numbered, on the other side.
The Black+White show at Artico is live! Another quick preview here below, a one-of-a-kind pair of Black+White Graffiti Earrings, signed and numbered on the back. The Black+White Graffiti is a mini series of One of a Kind jewelry pieces in sterling silver with a stained black patina finish. See more at the show!
new earrings in the making, working on something simple and not too boring... experimenting with copper sheet with pierced motifs, a simple circle cutout and foreseeing fun colors!
After a long long hiatus, one of these gaps in time that never seem to reconcile, this week I have been rejoicing in stocking up on some vermeil again, like the best-seller classic Hoops below. For the super minimal, the black and white option, super classic in style, perfect match for simplicity. And copper, and brass, colors of autumn or for an end of season. There you go... got Hoops?
cold is here. as a matter of fact there is a foot of snow blanketing my jeep outside. everything is blinding white. it's time to stock up on a few basic things, firewood, thick rolled oats, beans of course. then there are the other basics, simple daily pleasures to walk along with you in the day. and to keep the fire going... so, stocking up on things like these coil rings, in the golden vermeil, finger rings, scarf sliders... or in simple black and brushed silver, quite minimal to fit right under those warm winter gloves!
today I thought I'd share a few things about me, a rare glimpse into my world behind the scenes... So, Who Am I? Existential questions aside and to start somewhere, here is a recent picture of me in pensive mode, pondering on a shot for a slices collection photoshoot. putting my thoughts together this morning I realized there could be much to say...but for now pinning down a few things, somewhat randomly popped to mind, but pretty important: - I am an animal lover. since forever. like forever. I feel affinity with dogs, coyotes, wolves, foxes, dingos and bears... a stuffed bear was given to me by my mother when I was 1 and we never departed. Kara my black dog companion is currently with me, I love dogs, I cannot live without them. - a red jeep was a surprise gift from a fellow jeweler at a show in Baltimore, several years ago. He just walked up to me in the aisle in front of my booth and asked if I could pick up his truck parked at the Albuquerque airport for him, he had just bought a brand new red pickup in Philadelphia and was driving back west with it. He handed me the keys, and if I liked it, he said, I could just keep it... red jeep is still my daily wheels, including a little intervention years back with a rebuilt engine. and for further reading, bouncing you back to a blog post of some while ago, for a quick summary of a few years of recent living...
it's here! the jewelry closeout sale is just about a week away and here's another quick preview of what you'll find there: dangling coil earrings these are the very last 2 pairs of the dangling coil earrings i am left with, one in the copper finish (that witty orange) and one in the brass finish (the lemon yellow) and both are great for late fall and to add some swirls to your season. i am retiring this style from the popular twisted and wires collection, as i add new designs and keep growing this line.
don't miss it! all items are between 40% to 60% off and this is a closeout sale....you know, closeout: not more of these after that! as a subscriber of my collector list, you get to shop the sale two hours ahead of everyone else and i envision things selling out fast! so, sign up and check your email these next couple of days when you'll get your exclusive link to the sale!.... the closeout sale is just over two weeks away and i am touching up the details of the 15 item-selection of what will be available for grabs. all pieces are super slashed in price - 40% to 60% off - a unique opportunity to take home one of a kind work and limited edition pieces, along with a few items i have decided to retire from my collections. here below another preview of a pair of earrings in the closeout sale: dangling bar earrings in copper part of the now retired solids collection, the dangling bar earring style is a very limited edition item, i believe i churned out maybe 20 max of these at the time.
(only 1 pair available, so just you know...) the last one in copper, with a hand-forged sterling silver ear wire. stay tuned for live links on launch date! months of uncertainties have been piling up, we do not know what is happening next. bring my thoughts back to my work, the bench, what needs to be done, slices earrings, in progress. and after a few days, got a bunch to shoot, tedious work of quite a few hours... and then, they are ready to go!

jewelry notes from the bench
Hi, welcome to my jewelry blog!
I make simple, colorful and bold jewelry for a contemporary ageless and fun style. Have been doing this for quite sometime...pretty sure this is what I want to do when I grow up! Here I jot down thoughts and notes and pictures of work in the making, both in my mind, on paper and on the bench. for bench updates and exclusive previews... archives
