Nancy Jane – Artisan Jewelry
Website

I have been a metalsmith, jewelry artist since 2010.

My jewelry studio is operated entirely by me. My duties range from design conception, to fabrication, sourcing all materials, photography for the website, sales and exhibiting in about 20 art shows a year.

My work is a combination of fine metals and gemstones. I recycle most of the sterling sheet metal I use in my work. One of the favorite parts of my work is hand selecting the gems and minerals, often choosing them for their imperfect qualities and unique characteristics. This is where I find most inspiration.

I use traditional tools, such as a torch, jewelers saw, files and hammers to create a modern line of work. My work is often textured and highlighted with patina.
