jewelry

Jewelry grows in the garden, and other found objects.

I have an old house in the Capital Region of NY, and I mean old. We're talking 1871 old. My garden was likely the old household dump, and every spring new-old-things come out of the earth. I want to share are a few of my big finds thus far - a pocket watch, a vial of thread, a green apothecary jar, and a silver ring. Oh, and a pretty creepy porcelain doll face (yes, just the face) and the occasional squirrel scull. 

Left Brain, Right Brain, Science or Art? How I became a Jewelry Engineer.

The division of labor between the two halves of the brain is fascinating - the left brain controls the right side of the body, and takes care of speech, logic, & math, while the right brain controls the left side and excels in spacial orientation, creativity, and registers the world through images. 

I launched Moon & Bone Jewelry in 2014 to make the kind of jewelry I wanted to wear and see more of in the market place. Pieces that were  beautiful, well made, vibrant, and interesting. I find that both my creative and technical background serve me well, in both making jewelry and business.
