speaking of etsy...

while i don't have an up-and-running store on etsy at the moment, a good friend of mine, Sarah Greenberg, does. we worked together for a year making jewelry for another designer, but she's a jeweler in her own right and creates beautiful ocean-inspired silver pieces under the name of Shore Jewelry.

she'll be a featured designer at secession art and design gallery in san francisco from july 15 to august 28 - a really big deal for her! and very exciting.

an example of her work:

hammered and oxidized silver coins with .01 chocolate diamonds... we used to share a studio space and knowing how much dedicated handwork goes into each of her pieces is inspiring. good work, Sarah.
