Pretty Silver Jewelry Featuring Cool Moving Parts

Mechanical_bird_earrings

We spent the weekend in Tahoe with friends Spencer, Christine, and Ken. Christine is a jeweler, and she makes beautiful silver-based pieces with a slightly Japanese touch that I love, like these dangly earrings with cranes on them. (I don't know if they're really cranes. I don't know my myna birds from my pigeons. But they're pretty birds.)

A lot of her designs have cool moving parts, like wings that flap or amethyst flower petals on rings that move when you wave your hand.

I wish Christine had an Etsy page, or some other way for nonlocals like me to buy her jewelry.

You can email her!
