ABOUT THE ART

Ever since I was a little girl, I've been enamored with the American West.

In elementary school, I was Laura Ingalls for Halloween 3 years in a row, dressed in a prairie frock and matching bonnet hand sewn by my Mom.

In middle school, I wrote my first big history report on what life was like for women on the Wagon trains. The good, the bad and the ugly. I made cowboy Johnny cakes for the class and still remember the laughs when I divulged that they did indeed burn Buffalo patties for fire when wood was scarce.

In high school, I ate up every Willa Cather book, gawked at Georgia O’Keefe paintings and watched every western known to man. I remember a girl in class trying to make fun my vintage cowboy boots by calling me “a dirty ranch hand” and to this day I still consider that a high compliment. 😆

I mostly was inspired by the gumption and grit women of the west possessed- to be able to pack up everything in a wagon and endure months of the elements and hardships in search of a new better life. To me, they were the perfect marriage of beauty and badassery.

This feminine bolo is a nod to those women. Rugged yet delicate, with a killer turquoise stone straight from the heart of the west.

 STORY BEHIND THE ART

I found this tiny cone on a trail run and was so enamored that I went on a wild goose chase to properly identify it. After diving into a VERY deep internet hole (which may or may not have included google searches such as “teeny tiny pinecone” and “little baby fir cone”) I was successful. Behold! An adolescent conelet of the Pinus Strobus known as the Eastern White Pine. All thanks to a vintage illustration from an obscure forestry database. And of course I couldn’t stop there- once I got an ID, I collected the various growth stages of the cones, from branchlet terminal bud, to yearling cone to ripe mature cone. Conelet. That’s the actual scientific term- could there be a more perfect name?! Clearly, I NEEDED to immortalize it and wear it forever. So, I cast it in sterling silver and simply strung it upon a delicate beaded chain. With such lovely natural intricacies, who needs anything else?

ITEM DETAILS

• .925 Sterling Silver
• Real White Pine adolescent cone foraged by me & cast in sterling
• Each cone measures around 6mm x 12mm
• Strung on an 18" sterling beaded chain
  
• Tagged with my maker's mark for authenticity
• Handmade in Maine in my home studio.

STORY BEHIND THE ART

Wear a piece of history!

As you well know, I am absolutely enamored with the place we call home. New England not only is home to stunning wilderness landscapes, but also imbued with a rich history. I love learning about yesteryear, specifically how nature & the past coincide. In my spare time, I enjoy seeking inspiration through perusing various articles & books on the subject. This summer, I happened upon an exciting revelation: the very first coinage used in early North America bore a favorite familiar symbol…THE PINE TREE!

Once my interest was peaked by pine, I delved deep, learning that the very first coins EVER used in the English-American colonies were the Pine Tree Shillings of New England. They were created & commissioned in 1652 by the Massachusetts General Court. These simple silver coins were hand struck by a hammer using a hand carved mold. Each featured an elaborate pine design & intricate border that read “New England Masathvsets.” English coins always featured an image of a king, but these replaced that image with a pine: a symbol of the land & newfound freedom. The Pine Tree Shillings were were the primary minted currency from 1667-1682! The last photo is an original coin found in Paul Revere’s time capsule that was placed under the Old State House in Boston in 1795, & opened in 2014. How neat is that?!

As soon as I learned about these, I was inspired beyond belief & knew they had to become jewelry. I created these commemorative medallions based if of these coins, but with my own spin: ample texture, simple bails & a bit of whimsy.

The larger XII twelve pence medallion hangs upon a 22” decorative chain, with the III three pence coin on a 18” beaded chain. Emblems made to remember, layer & adorn. I can hardly contain my excitement for these, as they’ve been a long time in the making. Wearable pieces of New England’s rich history, from my hands to yours. ✨

ITEM DETAILS

• .925 Sterling Silver
• Coins measure 1.5cm and 2cm in diameter respectively
• Small Coin Strung on an 18" sterling beaded chain
• Large Coin Strung on a 20" sterling decorative chain for layering.
• Tagged with my maker's marks for authenticity
• Handmade in Maine in my home studio
