About

Bio

Hi, I'm Amy Beeler

I strive to create pieces that are nature inspired wearable art by turning a seed pod into something beautifully unique to my style. In these contemporary, nature pieces, the sterling silver pods have been darkened with a patina, leaving only highlights in silver; while the hand fabricated body of the piece has been high polished. In many of these pieces I have enhanced the beauty of the pods by adding pearls. Owing to their natural beauty, I find these the perfect accent for the pods. Additionally I use my pods in unexpected ways, for exampl, using beechnut seedpods as the bodies of my birds.
