Take a few gears, brass washers, steel bolts, copper wiring and you have urban industrial flair! Hardware store supplies are a hot trend in jewelry right now and Whim Originals Studio has this niche figured out.
With very cool concept designs, these rings and bracelets are made from layers of materials that you would never consider a typical jeweler's supply.
Moving from one medium to another, she has now moved into metals, creating with sterling silver and copper and incorporating beads and gemstones as she goes along.
