THE WRIST WORKS Original designed and hand crafted jewelry in sterling silver.
THE ARTIST My background started with two years at Layton School of Art in Milwaukee, WI. With no formal jewelry training, I founded THE WRIST WORKS in 1974 in Eugene, Oregon. The Oregon landscapes were dominated with wild flowers, inspiring me to concentrate on floral designs. Now living in rural Illinois, my interest is still in floral and wildlife designs. To this day, I still design and create all of the pieces myself. To develop most of the jewelry, I use the basic techniques of hand sawing, fabrication and forging. I use multiple layers of sterling silver for background or depth. With an emphasis on bracelets., I have an extensive range of sizes. This will allow for a good fit for the smallest of wrist sizes to larger ones, including men's sizes. I have spent my entire career participating in major juried art shows, from the west to the east coast as well as internet sales. Please take a look at my show schedule to see where I will be next.
