**SOLD** Update: SETS from the 'Heart of a Biker' Collection first to SELL!

People are really liking the 'Heart of a Biker' Collection, the two sets that include necklace and matching earrings have sold out!
Each necklace took me 2-3 hours to make by hand- stringing the bike chain pieces with jump rings and and assembling them together...to create the final piece that hangs just under the collar bones...

Looks like I'll have to create many more as they were the first to go! 4 days of being open online yey! :D

Create, create, create.

SOLD!

SOLD!

Now to brainstorm new designs of necklaces for the 'Heart of a Biker' Collection...

'Heart of a Biker' Collection ADDED! More to come as I create....

“Heart of a Biker” collection is my current line that is inspired by the collage of bikers I see on their daily commute. The materials I compile into necklaces and earrings resemble the rings that hold their chains on their bikes, the crucial part that makes the bike (and biker) zig-zag, zoom, jump and fly through road raged drivers, pot-holes, downtown congestion, yellow blurs of cabs, heavy intersections, curbs, unexpected opening car doors and slow pedestrian walkers. I am constantly amazed at their bravery, so this series is dedicated to all the city bikers who are fearless on their bike—they have a heart of a biker…

Introducing the 'Abstract & Contrary' Collection

Stay Tuned for more!

It Started in Puerto Rico...

So I went to Puerto rico this summer and met a street vendor who inspired me to come back to Chicago and start creating my own jewelry and since August I haven't been able to stop-creating. 

I started with a collection called: "Wired Expressions" which is a series that I use metal wire and transform it into something beautiful and wearable by the smack of a hammer-- :) 

visit Mano y Metal on etsy! Just got it up and going on it's feet.

It's looking like a toddler right now--barely learning how to put one foot in front of the other, but bare with me, I will get it running smoothly soon. 

Here is what I have up thus far...
