new jewelry…some vintage style some contemporary
June 15th, 2010For some of you who already know I commute from Albuquerque to Santa Fe for work with New Mexico Department of Transportation. Santa Fe is an artful place with an ecelectic aesthetic. I am fascinated with the vintage style of Navajo jewelry and my personal style I worked in while attending Arizona State University. Being in Santa Fe during the work week reinforces my love for the vintage and contemporary styles.
Here are some pieces that reflect both styles. I am offering them for purchase. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing. I do work with my buyers for a layaway payment plan, which I work out individually with each person. Here we go!
