Featured Artist of the Day: Owner's Pick

Hawkhouse (Raw Mineral Jewelry):

How it's made:

Each piece is affixed to a piece of conductive metal, usually recycled copper ring or jump ring. The stone is then painted with a very thin layer of conductive paint, made of fine silver. The piece is then submerged in an electrochemical solution that is saturated with copper. When hooked up to power, copper molecules flow through the solution and land in the conductive paint and copper ring. The longer the piece is left in the solution, the thicker the coating becomes. Most pieces are submerged for 6-24 hours. The piece is then de-burred, tumbled, blackened with a sliver of sulfur and buffed to give give it a polished finish.

Why Sam Chose It:

Hawkhouse is different and organic looking. The process of creation involves science making it unlike that of anything else we carry in the store. Because it is a technique Sam didn't learn in school it fascinates her.
