Bio

The search for fulfillment socially and spiritually creates our need for the concept of collage. This is life. We layer. We collect. We cut and paste. We save things: people and experiences that influence our lives and help us to gain different points of view. Urban Temple body adornments are a form of collage; a way to changing the way someone looks at the world or even themselves. Many of the bits and pieces that are used in Urban Temple jewelry have been collected during travels in Europe, West and Central Africa and simply life.

The true reason for the birth of Urban Temple is because colorful, statement making pieces that reflect one’s personality and the collision of world cultures were not easily found or they were outrageously expensive. Urban Temple fills the void by using beads from around the world, found objects, and recycling broken or vintage jewelry. UT hopes to create more than just a necklace or a pair of earrings but a reflection of the diversity that exists in the world...and in each of us as individuals. It is simply about seeing the potential for beauty in anything. Urban Temple jewelry is an expression of this potential.
