Kari Stringer

We have a passion for all things vintage and a love of jewelry. After taking jewelry classes at the Southwest School of Art & Craft in 2007 we had gained the knowledge needed to combine these loves together creating one-of-a-kind wearable pieces of art to share.

Over the years we have collected many found objects with the hope of one day turning them into “something”. But it was the vintage tin cans that truly inspired us. The vivid colors, great typefaces and wonderful subjects lend themselves to being unique pieces of jewelry. And they vary so…some have amazing saturated colors and others are beautifully romantic which really embodies both sides of our personalities.

Our current work is a combination of geometric shapes that are all hand-cut. We find beauty in their imperfect silhouettes as well as the distressed nature of the tin. By narrowing the subject matter into something as simple as a circle or rectangle, we give it new life by changing the context in which it is viewed.

Being creative is a gift and passion that we love and embrace. We are continually inspired by found objects of the past and look forward to where they will lead us in the future.
