My husband does all my casting, but I create all my original designs. Many times, you can see my fingerprints in the wax. The sliced cork jewelry is all cast from natural cork that has beautiful texture and we use wine, champagne or whatever cork we find. We can even use your special cork and make sentimental one of a kind pieces.

The first piece of copper jewelry I made was when I was learning how to form a copper cuff and handling a hammer. I learned there is a rhythm when striking the metal. Hammering came natural for me so I decided to add this texture to my jewelry. I owe all my techniques to my wonderful husband the jeweler and mentor.

Taking care of your jewelry:  This piece of jewelry is high polished and oxidized so it will keep its patina that it has.  If you want to shine it up just use a polishing cloth, which we have available under Accessories.
