Jay Bird Studio

🌟 What do you think of this?? 🤔 Do you like the colors? ❤️‍🔥⁠
⁠
🦋 I am playing with some new ideas. This is a magnet, yeah, like a fridge magnet. I made some butterflies and was too lazy to bezel set them - so I thought...what else can I do with them? And voila - gorgeous butterflies that you can decorate any metal surface with! 🦋⁠
⁠
What do you think? Fun idea? Would you buy an artisanal magnet?⁠

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨So I’m officially announcing that Jay Bird Studio has moved to Pittsburgh, PA! 🤗 Aka, me, Ashley, my husband, and 2 faboo cats. 🐈‍⬛🐈We bought ourselves a lovely little house on a hill with a decent basement for me to use as my workspace.
🏡
It has been a big adjustment moving a whole Metalsmithing studio and small jewelry business (SO MANY SMALL PICESE!!!!!!) to say the least. Honestly, the hardest part was having to pause everything for almost a full year. There were some moments of great loss for my space, my amazing part time job with a local jeweler, and loosing my main creative outlet. I had been gaining momentum in my business and then p**f! It all just slowly faded out - pssht, honestly it wasn’t that slow! One day I was making jewelry and the next day I was packing up everything and going to a brand new city where I didn’t know a soul. But you know what? I LOVE a new adventure!! ✨ I have moved many times in my adult life. This is my 5th state to occupy. But I digress - and I didn’t want to do all of this here - I’ll put it into a blog you can find on my website. Which of course, is linked in my profile above. 👆🏻

These pics show me moving into the garage first, where my tools started to rust 😳🙅🏻‍♀️ and then into the basement where I will be for the foreseeable future - and my tools won’t get so rusty. ✨🙌🏻✨

There is much more to come and I still have some unpacking and organizing to do! My goal is to be more active here and start to engage so in the wise words of Samuel L. “hold onto your butt’s”.
💜,
👩🏻‍🏭

Bringing those fall/autumn vibes…go grab yourself a warm drink and scroll through my jewelry.

Throwback to some of my FAVORITE

Hope y’all have a fun, safe and spooky holiday!

Look at this beautiful chaos!! It so much fun to sit down and work here. I love all of the colors and shapes and little trinkets I have lying around - they are all very inspiring to me and a feast for my eyes and my heart!

I have 4 dedicated spaces for my artwork. I have my Metalsmithing studio outside and inside in this tiny room I have my photography area, the uv protection area (which is what you see here), and the resin area which is just on the other side of this photo. I am very lucky to have these spaces and I use them all almost daily.

Thanks for dropping by and please make sure to visit my website and consider supporting me by purchasing some of my work!

Here are some of the stills from my first shot at small batch production. I have already doubled the size, added extra supports and played with the color combinations. Tomorrow I will make my first official necklace in sterling silver. I’m excited to see how it turns out!
✨
These will be on my site ready for purchase for Valentines day - so I will probably be dropping them next week. Stay tuned and thanks for following me, your continued support means everything to me.

In all their glory and splendor - my newest design in earring form!! Haven’t thought of a name quite yet….once I do, I’ll get photos and price them and put them on my website!





✨❤️👩🏻‍🏭❤️✨

Here’s a small sample of the colors in my line. These are the Color Droplet Bracelets. Mmm mmm mmm - I just wanna eat them all up!!

Here’s a peek at the current batch of ✨body candy ✨awaiting the final uv protection coat.

Did you know I hand coat every single piece?

Any area that is exposed to the sun gets a coating. I have put a lot of time and testing into the search for a quality product that resists yellowing, has a lovely finish and blocks uv light. It became apparent very quickly after wearing some of my earrings out in the mountains of Colorado that the resin would yellow if left as is. So I’m VERY happy to say I’ve found it and I’m in love with it!!!

Wishing it was summer again?? This hand made pendant allows you to take that beautiful, warm ocean vibe with you wherever you go!

You can’t find this color in gemstones or in any other jewelry. This color took me hours of experimenting to create and perfect.

Be the light you want to see in the world today. Sending love to all of you. 💙

Jewelry has long been intertwined with the human story. Each piece of my collections represents some fundamental aspect of the wearer's experience - Love, Relationships, Desire, Memories, Connection, Status, Attraction...
