Years ago, on a search for a right-next-adventure, I happened to be in Brooklyn at the Botanical gardens, wearing my favorite necklace. It was the second thing I ever made of silver, the piece I said I couldn’t part with because it was so somehow symbolized so much good. My logo for the longest time.

Well, at the gardens, the high-vibration woman behind me in the expensive-sandwich line and I happened to have a quick conversation. I told her I was a silversmith, and she said she was an aficionado of silver. She liked my earrings and necklace. Our conversation turned into lunch, and she told me something I’ve remembered since then - she is living her third trimester of life for herself, the way she wants it, rather than how she lived the first two for other people. A few weeks later, she asked if she could buy my necklace. It felt right, so I sent it to her in California.

Jeannie and I have been friends ever since.

And last week, the day before fam and I were headed out of town, she called me, upset because her necklace had come up missing. She not only needed a copy, but she needed it by September 1, which really meant I had one day to create it. I have always opted out of making the same thing twice, and deadlines tend to send me running... but for Jeannie, I agreed, afraid I couldn’t keep my commitment but really, really wanting to.

Well, today, I was able to work through all the brain-messages that made me want to run away, and I somehow turned this piece of silver into the necklace she wanted. Somehow from memories of making this first piece in years ago while studying in Mexico, I made this new piece that looks like the original.

I’ll send it to California tomorrow. And maybe I’ll try to make a new one for myself.

I couldn’t have done it without her inspiration... so, a Thank you to Jeannie and to all those who give and inspire and believe in people and give love to each other so freely.

Finally finished this beauty for a family, Alleson & Brad, who I can to love and respect so much during our making-process!

It took us (okay, me!) several tries to come to something we all loved (and my inner Rebel had some trouble with my self-imposed deadlines!) but here it is:

Sterling silver triangle-bar, triple-finger-covering, with sterling saucers and prong-set-black quartz unearthed by Alleson’s amazing grandparents. Voila!

And Alleson’s pose is also pretty fantastic, right?!? ❤️

Here’s one piece, “Colonized”. It was born from a reminder my partner was giving me about not spending money to support a company who was using their capital in ways that perpetuate white supremacy. This brought me shame because I DID give them money, so I made this as a reminder: where does our money go? How does American money negatively impact the world? Is our money supporting the values that you want it to - not further colonization, furthering the wealth gap?

What is this lesson? This is my third iteration of this necklace... I have been having fun building up this scallop shape into a neckband (out of four kinds of labradorite, two of pearl, lapis lazuli, abolone, and blue sunstone)... and it breaks... just like that!
