Finally available in the etsy shop... The "Brut" Crystal Cranium Combustion Necklace. You know that feeling where your brain is just exploding with ideas, you can't contain them? You know like you start a project, then you have another idea for another project then you're just spread a million different ways? I feel like this piece expresses that feeling well... Now more rough and raw. A cast of a baby red squirrel skull from the Catskill mountains adorned with quartz crystals, from there I was able to make a mold then turn it into solid bronze to make the little guy eternal. The pendant itself measuring about an inch and a half tall hanging with dense substance, now strung upon 22" of brass ball chain. In our "Brut" chain option. Oxidized with a gleaming gold highlight. #gruntwerk #bonejewelry #metalsmith #ladysmith #metallurgy #skull #skulljewelry #crystalcraniumcombustion #brut #oddities

For any of you interested in seeing the finished outcome of the custom Bowie inspired tie bar I finished. Sterling silver hand fabricated with solid Sterling silver squirrel jaws, cast in studio, with hand forged bezels delicately cradling blue appetite and carnelian stones. My client came to me looking for one blue and one pink stone to represent the Star Man's eyes. I remembered a few years back I was gifted Blue Appetite and Carnelian stones grew together and a friend mined in South America. I payed to have some cabochons made out of the blue Appetite a couple years ago and took my first swing at this lapidary thing on the carnelian! Super happy with house this piece came out. #GruntWerk #bonejewelry #finebonejewelry #tiebar #tooth #teeth #teethjewelry #squirreljaw #jawbone #jawjewelry #silversmith #ladysmith #metalsmith (at The Hungerford)

Custom work up to my eye balls. A client came to me looking for a simple labradorite pendant piece that reflects my style. We came up with this piece, measuring just under 2" tall, set in hand forged fine and sterling silver. #gruntwerk #labradorite #silversmith #ladysmith #metalsmith #metallurgy #riojeweler
