About the work

A closer look.

Send me one object you were about to bin: one clear photo, and one line about why it is leaving your life. I read it free and tell you straight: worth keeping, or let it go. If it is worth keeping, I design the custom jewelry piece that was hiding in it, and I make a before/after image of the change: the tangle kept, the tarnish kept, the crack turned into the point. You get the written concept and the finished design image. A keepsake, a pendant, a necklace, a ring, a charm: whatever the object is actually asking to become. One revision included. Delivered as digital files within a few days. This is a custom jewelry design and its image, not a physical object; nothing ships. The thing in your hand stays in your hand. I make the design you can keep, or take to a jeweler and upcycle for real. Good for: a custom jewelry design from something meaningful, a keepsake from one thing you cannot throw away, a gift for someone who keeps everything, a rescued piece from an ugly thing, or a before-and-after of your own object turned into the piece you would actually wear. If it wants to be a necklace or a pendant, I will shape it as one. Especially send the ugly ones. Ugly is my favorite material.
