The Katmai Necklace is my favorite creation so far, honoring the spirit of Katmai National Park and Reserve. Inspired by bears and spawning sockeye salmon, it captures a sense of magic and good vibes. Its kinetic jaw adds a fun and lively touch and I made sure the design would not snag on clothes. This piece has traveled far and wide and I’ve never been more proud of my wares. Really excited to see who gets this one.
Note to buyer: The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost morebecause of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
All of my jewelry is stamped .925 and or 14-24k gold. This is helpful for resell value if you ever decide to pass it on.
