Welcome to Wrought in Heaven: Why I Choose to Create Relics, Not Accessories

I started Wrought in Heaven Jewelry because I have always had a love for jewelry. Jewelry was the very first thing I ever started making when I was a teenager. And even back in the 80's, I was making jewelry that had meaning. I was making friendship bracelets and beading safety pins with personalized names spelled out in beads on them, which I strung on elastic vertically to make bracelets.

I've always had a fascination with architecture and historical items. Items of any sort that stood the test of time always appealed to me. My favorite types of architecture are Gothic, Medieval, Egyptian, Baroque, Renaissance, Neoclassical, Rococo, Art Deco, and Art Nouveau. I studied architecture and interior design in school and I once was going to be either an architect or an interior designer. As a result, you will find a lot of these influences in my designs.

When I came across someone making metal press-on nails a couple of years ago, I thought it was such a cool idea and I wanted to create unique designs of my own that I have never personally seen. The sky is the limit, really. I decided to start this brand, Wrought in Heaven Jewelry, and to unveil a line of precious metal press-on nails. It fits the aesthetic perfectly since metal press-on nails have been made for centuries.

I really want people to feel unique and special when they wear something that I have created for them. With a lifelong background in hospitality, it is very important for me to give the best service in the industry. It is really important for me to connect with my clients and hear their story because that's how I make such memorable pieces for them. This is what separates Wrought in Heaven from the others. Earning your trust is my top priority.

This journal will become a place where I share the stories behind each of my designs, glimpses into the studio, traditional metalsmithing techniques, and the inspiration that shapes every peice. Whether you're here out of curiousity or collecting your first piece, I'm grateful you've joined me at the beginning.
