Why express yourself through metal and stone? Why not just tell someone or write them a letter? Give them a phone call or send an email or maybe a hug? Well, we forget what people good us, letters are treasured, then socked away in a drawer or a folder, or simply get lost and recycled (fingers crossed), phone calls end, emails are archived, and hugs, as sweet as they are, ate forgotten.
Metal and stone endure. Some noble metals will endure without ever changing or tarnishing. Stones hold their color and don't fade. The meaning and memories we place inside them will last forever. They imbibe the spirit and energy of our hearts. They do not echo a message, they are the message! They can be kept close when worn as jewelry, the meaning revealed and renewed each time they are slipped on. Others see, talk about them. The conversations and touches glances reminding and buttressing the story embodied within and without the metal and stone. A picture can say a thousand words. A piece of metal and stone jewelry can tell a thousand words to a thousand generations.
Create with Love,
