Hi! I'm Lois Gibbs McManus the maker of these things.

 

With my studio located in the mountains of rural Western Maryland, I draw inspiration from the region's natural beauty to create unique jewelry pieces.My process is truly my own, often involving a meticulous and environmentally friendly technique of carving  patterns into brass and then pressing the pattern or texture into sterling silver using that little workhorse rolling mill you see in the pictures. Each piece - whether a necklace, ring, or pair of earrings - reflects a little bit of nature’s beauty. My signature style involves delicate leaf and flower motifs, and I primarily use sterling silver and  semi-precious gemstones. I like creating texture and nature inspired forms that mirror the natural world.

Worth protecting right?
