I have an Etsy shop called adorn jewelry which I would love for you to come and check out www.adornjewelry.etsy.com .

Adorn Jewelry was born out of my obsession with old photographs and my love for creating wearables.

I was trained in jewelry production ten years ago but ventured into my own designs after a couple years on the road as a vendor. It wasn't until several years ago that I started incorporating photographs.

In the beginning, most of my pieces were culled from a collection of familial photos. Now, the search for intriguing photos in antique shops keeps me entertained. Photos that read like a good story.

In the last couple years, I have been taking photos, for example the birds that alight in the trees outside my home.

From these photos, I extract a detail and give it new life in a piece of jewelry.
