I have discovered, to my delight, that it’s still possible to find unique handmade sterling silver jewelry. And by that, I also mean jewelry that is made here in the USA. I’d gotten a little apathetic while shopping over the holidays. It seemed like most all the gold and silver accessories I found in the malls were made in China or somewhere overseas. I just strongly feel like I want to support my own country right now by buying 925 silver right here at home.
So I happened upon this site. The wonderful artisan jewelry captured my imagination. I have always been fascinated by the animal kingdom, and seeing their personalities displayed so well really made my day. I don’t care for “cute” depictions of animals. But when a person can show the beauty of something in silver, pewter, gold or enamel jewelry then they get my attention. Hurrah for artists, and thank goodness there is someone still crafting beautiful images of animals in wearable art.
And I don’t mean to affront artists creating in other countries. I think all of us should be supporting our local jewelry artists, wherever local is for you.
