My Bio
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.

Just wanted to keep up my monthly tradition of posting some new designs... I eventually hope to upload all my current work to share with you and update the descriptions on my older pieces as well; there's a story behind everything, and it's often just as important to me as the actual metalwork itself. February was a busy month; I acquired a new gallery in Laguna Beach, California called the Crystal Image... if you live nearby, please stop and visit!  I also participated in a beautiful show in Santa Monica but unfortunately did not sell well enough to consider returning for next year's show.  Well, you win some and lose some, and you always h

Also you mention in your bio that you studied under a shaman in montana, was that Heyoka Merrifield? Your work resembles his a lot - I own three of his pieces. 
Do you do custom commissions? I am getting married and would love to buy one of your necklaces. 
women why must you have such talent? 
You're work is fantastic. I am definitely watching you.
Your work is absolutly-totaly-gorgeous!!!

Can I ask something that is really driving me insane???
The women's faces on your jewelry are enameled or carved into silver?
Either way, great artwork!!
Hi!

I'm kinda scared to ask this, since I'm dirt poor lol, but how much would a commission for a necklace be? :)
