The Old World Collection
I drew inspiration for the "Old World" collection from the unique nostalgia old objects evoke as they inspire imagination. I felt a thrill when I first stumbled upon these old Mexican coins from the 1950's.
Metals used are gold fill, sterling silver, copper, and brass. The line also features semiprecious stones, beads, coins, shells, and findings I've gathered in travels over the years.
