Coral Garden Cuff
*This listing is for a pre-order. I have only made a prototype and will custom make each order to fit each customer. Please select your size from the drop down. I will need apx 2-3 weeks for production before shipment due to the custom nature of this design.
This design is 100% handmade in my studio by me from beginning to end. I began designing this piece in wax and handbuilt and carved a wax model. I then cast the wax model in Bronze using the lost wax process, in my studio. Each is one of a kind since each is made one at a time and I cast, tool, and finish each individually in my studio.
Material: Solid Bronze (as always, nickel and lead free!)
SIZE: Each is adjustable and pliable and can be opened and closed to fit comfortably on the wrist. I can make this cuff in a variety of sizes, please pick from the drop down.
I custom make every cuff from wax and then cast it.
(please find the circumference measurement of your wrist area for your size)

FeverFew Earrings
FeverFew Leaf Earrings - Handmade in Austin, Tx - Plant Jewelry - Statement Earrings - made by Jamie Spinello
Size: From ear wire to the tip of the leaves, each measures just under 2" long.
Parthenium Hysterophorus, also known as Santa Maria Feverfew. I was really attracted to the lacy leaves of this "weed" growing in my garden, so I utilized its leaves in a few designs and learned more about it. 'SantaMaria Feverfew' / 'Parthenium Hysterophorus', is a native plant to northern Mexico and Texas. Although it is often pulled from the garden as a weed, it actually has positive affects on the surrounding plants by pulling nitrogen from the air and releasing it into the soil. It was once used by native people for treatment of fever illnesses, similarly to the European FeverFew herbaceous plant.
Material: The pair in the picture is cast in Bronze. {pick your material preference from drop down}
1. Bronze (shown)
Shipping: I ship via Priority USPS mail within the US and first class to all international locations.

Wild Grape Leaf Earrings - Smaller version
Sold out
*Made to Order* Please allow 2 weeks for me to make and cast your pair before I ship.
Size: From earwire to the tip of the leaves, each measures just under 2" long.
This is the smaller of the two grape leaf earring designs that I make. You can find the larger more detailed and lacy grape leaf earring design here:

The Wild Grape (Vitus Mustangenesis) that these leaves were taken from are often mistaken for and crowded out by their close but less flamboyant cousin, the Muscadine. Both are wild grapes that are native to the southern United States, including Texas. Growing up in Mississippi, where vines climb with abundance in every forest, I often came across wild grapes. Upon eating them, I quickly learned that just because they look like grapes doesn't mean they will taste like it. The bitter skinned fruit from this plant is generally used to make jams, jellies and wines, but is not the best for eating raw. If you love sour and bitter things, however, you will probably enjoy eating these. I do!

Ammonites were prehistoric creatures that were (essentially) the predecessors of the present day chambered nautilus. They were cephalopods that lived on the bottom of the ocean inside their chambered shells millions of years ago. Each cell within their shell was a new room they built for their body as they grew, leaving behind the smaller cell they once inhabited, and so I view the chambered nautilus, as many do, as a symbol for the spiral of life; symbolizing how we endure and grow through our own chapters. I have always been fascinated by the chambered nautilus and its beautiful geometry, so exact and so absolute.

'The Chambered Nautilus'
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main,—
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun their streaming hair.
Its webs of living gauze no more unfurl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell,
Where its dim dreaming life was wont to dwell,
As the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed,—
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt unsealed!
Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathèd horn!
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings:—
Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!

Milk Thistle Cameo Ring
Sold out
Milk Thistle Cameo Ring - handmade out of copper in my Austin Tx Studio - by Jamie Spinello
This design features my illustration of a Milk Thistle that I have etched into metal. I have always been attracted to Milk Thistles but even more so since moving to Texas where Milk Thistles can grow over 6 feet tall in the wild. They tower and taunt with their purple poofs. It never fails, when I try to touch them, the wind shifts just enough so that one of the hypodermic needles which covers its leaves and stem brush against me resulting in finger pricks. These beautiful and monumental wildflowers of Texas are emblems of strength and perseverance.

Sterling Silver
