Handcrafted jewelry since 2011
Southerly Arts™ is the home of my two main lines of jewelry: Libellula Jewelry™ & Cicada Silver™.
Libellula Jewelry™: Beaded, etched, base metal clay, & anodized titanium and niobium jewelry
Cicada Silver™: Sterling & fine silver jewelry (traditional metalsmithing & silver metal clay) and occasionally a few 14k gold-filled chainmaille items
I studied precious metal clay and traditional metalsmithing in Nashville and New Orleans. Beading, electrolytic etching, electroforming, and anodizing were entirely self-taught.
I'm a member of the Craftsmen's Guild of Mississippi and the Louisiana Crafts Guild.
