RE-purposed Buttons
Grandma’s sewing kit always contained the most fascinating buttons. Colorful. Warm. Touchable.
The button rings are created by stacking buttons and forging a heavy sterling wire into a ring. Finally, the ends are twisted to secure the stack.

RE-used Coins
Grandpa’s toolbox contained old coins, worn thin from use. When I let them fall, they made a distinct noise unlike new coins. That's when I realized they were actually made with silver.
This pendant combines my beloved gift cards with a Roosevelt dime. Roosevelt dimes were minted between 1946 and 1964 and contain 90% silver. I have developed a method where the coins are heated until they become almost liquid, causing them to transform into stunning and uneven discs.

RE-covered Resin
Typically, there's some leftover resin after using it for a project. Instead of letting it become hard and tossing it, I decided to make earrings out of it—the Leftover Earrings
I pour the extra resin into round molds, making small gems which I then bezel set using scrap sterling sheet. Some of these little treasures have marks from past projects on their backs.
