JEWELRY CUSTOM CREATED USING HAIR

I  pride myself on the craftsmanship of  my pieces and when  my client's look  at the finished art I want it to be as as close as I can get to how they envisioned it  when they  ordered.    I  understand the  sentiment  and love behind  these  pieces and  treat  every  customer  with  utmost respect.      I  work  

very closely  with my clients and no piece  is  

              finished  until  the client  approves it.                                

image98

Each piece is created using hair the client provides.  Most  artwork is  placed on a mother-of-pearl back-

ground.    When  hair is very light or white I will

   use a darker background which showcases the hair.                                                                               

image99

I  can  create  most any image my client requests.  

If you email me a picture of what you would like made I can tell you if it  can be done using  hair  techniques.    Very little hair is needed to 

create most designs.

 Hair Art is jewelry and artwork created using hair as the artistic medium.  It was created most commonly from the middle ages through the 1800's.   It was believed that hair jewelry increased one's love if the piece was made using the hair of the living, and was seen as a way of wearing one's love if the person was deceased.

Treasure Box

Each piece is packaged in a  "treasure" box for safekeeping when not being worn.  It  makes a  beautiful  gift box for gift giving.  These pieces will last for generations to come.

I have been fascinated with Hair Art since I was child and saw beautiful  Victorian Pieces at the Minnesota State Fair and also the Swedish Institute in Minneapolis.  I was absolutely intrigued with the small and intricate pieces of jewelry, and I was in awe of the huge wreaths  some of them created using hair from an entire church congregation.  


It has interested me ever since and about thirty years ago I decided to learn how to make jewelry for myself using these old techniques.  I researched everything I could find on the construction of these pieces and learned from trial and error what worked and what didn't.  It fascinated me just to learn and soon became an obsession.
