I create each of my necklaces completely by hand, fabricating precious metals and scrimshawing recycled piano keys to form the faces of my women. Each tiny cameo holds a story within, exploring myths from around the world and empowering women to the magnificence they hold within.
I trained with a master goldsmith in Florence, Italy, as well as a Cherokee shaman and silversmith in rural Montana. My company Kelly Morgen Jewelry has been featured in national art magazine Ornament and is in the private collection of the Mucha family, actress Teri Polo, and fantasy authors Peter S. Beagle and Robin Hobb.
