I like designer Roxy Lentz‘s design philosphy, which basically shows that precious is what you make it. And how you make it. She explains, “My jewelry is fabricated from recycled metals I find at thrift shops, I occasionally will use purchased metal, but prefer the patina of metal that has a history. Silver plate trays once given as wedding gifts, stored and then abandoned are crafted into one of a kind pieces that will bring attention to the wearer every time they are worn.

In 2010 I received a grant from the Italian Cultural Institute of Louisville, KY to go to Florence, Italy and take a two week course of intensive study in the fabrication of studio art jewelry, at the world known Alchimia jewelry school. Jewelry resulting from this study is in the “Firenze Collection”.

I show my one-of-a-kind jewelry at selected art shows, and in several galleries across the US. ”

This bracelet is made of mixed metals with a fire patina. For pricing, contact the designer here.
