I began creating guitar string jewelry in an effort to repurpose guitar strings. Each string is completely unique as a musician has worn down the colors and texture differently on each string creating shades of bronze, nickel, gold and brass depending on the string type and wear.

My favorite thing about this art is the fact that someone was playing the strings long before they were created into a piece of jewelry. It is as if the musicians who played the strings breathed life into them with all those songs written, gigs played and hours practiced. Each string has a history and a story. In this way their music lives on in each piece that I lovingly create by hand. Also, physically each string looks different as a result and literally no two pieces will ever be the same. Since I am a musician and a lover of one of a kind things, I think that is really special and hope that you do, too.
