Callie sculpts each piece of her jewelry by hand in her Texas studio.  She uses exclusively PMC (precious metal clay) to create  her pieces because she feels it gives the right texture and motion to her organic forms. 

 

Precious metal clay is a revolutionary new material to the art scene that combines microscopic pieces of silver with an organic binder that gives the silver a clay-like consistency.  The "clay" is formed and then fired in a kiln  at a high temperature where the silver particles become soft and fuse together.  The binder burns away completely leaving pieces that are 99.9% pure silver (also called Fine Silver).  It does not tarnish as quickly as sterling since it has no copper in it.  It is cleaned by using a toothbrush and baking soda.  It never needs a polishing cloth.

 

Callie then grinds each piece with stone to give it a shimmering matte finish that is distinctive to her work.  Earrings start at $58, necklaces at $110.  We are very proud to introduce this new artist's work to Houston and hope you can drop in to meet her and see the one-of-a-kind pieces she has made just for this, her first, trunk show.  Click here to see just a few of her dramatic pieces.  Come in the see many more in the selection.   Her jewelry collection available at both locations Nov 21st-Dec 31st.  

 

Callie says, "It is amazing to be able to create work that I love, and I feel truly honored that it is appreciated by others as well!"
