Jim and I are busy creating jewelry for upcoming shows and for consignment at some local stores. Currently you can buy our jewelry at The Pear Tree in Brookline, MA. The Pear Tree is located in Coolidge Corner across the street from Trader Joe’s. It’s a great local source for beads and findings. They also have a beautiful selection of finished jewelry including Touareg jewelry. They also sell Enrica’s Etchings at the store. The etchings are done by an artist in Mexico. They make really cute gifts.
If you love Sharilyn Miller’s jewelry book, Bead on A Wire, and are looking for ethnic beads, The Pear Tree is your source. I’ve searched and searched online for ethnic beads and either they cost too much, you have to buy an entire strand, or I just don’t feel comfortable buying the beads from a foreign country. You can buy beads individually at The Pear Tree. Most of the ethnic beads are located in the cases. Tania is the owner of the store. If you are looking for something and cannot find it in the store, she can order pretty much anything. They have some amazing vendors that they buy their beads from.
We will also be selling our jewelry at The Cottage in Newburyport, MA.
We are updating our page on Etsy to sell all our new jewelry. We’ve added a lot of hammered earrings to our new line including the earrings below. The hammered copper earrings start at $12. We also teach a class, Copper Hammered Earrings. In the class you will learn how to cut shapes out of copper sheet, use hammers to create textures, and also use metal stamps to add designs to the metal.
