The process begins with cutting lovely hardwoods such as Maple, Red Oak, Walnut, and Padauk into strips. From these, interesting shapes for earrings and pendant blanks are laser cut.

Next, a vibrant painting is created, and it’s used to laser cut the canvas pieces that'll fit right in.

Finally, everything is assembled, finished with varnish, and Sterling Silver findings are attached. This includes Ear Hooks and Jump rings for the earrings, and Jump rings with cotton cord for the pendants.

Every pair is unique.
