Who I Am!

I am Tess. Every piece of jewelry I have has a story attached to it. From bracelets my late husband bought me in the Bahamas and Sardinia to a necklace from my kids when I had surgery, or the precious one made of plastic beads and string from my late niece. I even have a gorgeous bracelet that belonged to my husbands grandmother! My jewelry is about the people I have lived life with. I strive for my designs to start stories in your life and the lives of those you love. Parts of the story have already been written. The worn out jeans are from ropers and ranchers, millwrights and deckhands. My makers and I get to lovingly craft these pretty items, I hand cut the leather, canvas and denim feathers, teardrops and leaves. I hand harvest the birchbark from dead birch trees I find in the bush on horseback rides. I even hammer the horse shoe nails and wrap them in copper myself. It truly is a joy to design items for YOUR very own story!
