20 YEAR CAREER SUMMARY
    Jewelry hand-crafted from broken china
TECHNIQUE
   The broken pieces are ground into unique shapes such as hearts, ovals, angels and shapes that compliment the specific designs in the china. A hand-worked silver-tin alloy bezel is created for each piece. Decorative soldering techniques are then used to create an embellishing compliment for each piece using the silver alloy around the outside edges. The metalwork on each piece is then coated with a special clear coating to prevent any tarnishing.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
     We have been working with broken china as a full time business for over twenty years now, and doing juried shows and custom orders.
