My “War Horse” Necklaces are my best seller. I think that’s because their meaning resonates with a lot of people.
“War Horse” is a symbol of strength and resiliency, and serves as a reminder to embrace your scars and love yourself just as you are.
“War Horse” is an original design that was drawn by hand. Each of the 3 layers is sawed out from sheets of Sterling Silver and then soldered together to create a 3D effect. Next, the “War Horse” is distressed through a combination of fusing silver shavings to its surface, superheating the silver to create “bubbles”, and hammering saw blades, coiled wire, and wire mesh into the silver. A hidden bail is added to the back so it can be worn as a necklace and then the pendant is placed into a Liver of Sulfur solution to antique the silver. Careful removal of the antiquing creates contrast, enhancing the “scars” and completing the distressed look. A leather necklace with an adjustable sliding knot clasp completes the “War Horse”.
While each “War Horse” starts out with the same pattern, they all come out a bit different due to the distressing process. Similar to the way we all have unique journeys, challenges, and trials to overcome that shape us into the people we are.
**The “War Horse” design is also available as a bracelet or ring and can be customized by adding a stone.**
Another one of my best sellers is my “KISS” (Keep It Simple Stupid) and “KISSed with Gold” style rings.
The “KISS” ring is a split shank ring with a heavy bezel around the stone. For the “KISSed with Gold” rings I add gold bead accents to the band. While similar in style, these rings are all unique because they feature one-of-a-kind stones.
A clean and classic design paired with high quality hand-fabricated construction make the “KISS” and “KISSed with Gold” rings perfect for every day wear!
I call this style “Ripple” due to the wavy texture of the ring bands and cuff bracelets.
While similar in style, these pieces are all one-of-a-kind due to their unique stones.
These gorgeous rings and cuffs are substantial and hand-fabricated from thick silver sheet and wire to be pieces you can love and enjoy for years to come!
