About Me

My Photo
hi- We are jewelry designers & makers whose interest in design has inspired us to open our very own retail space. We showcase the work of our friends and the work of innovative designers and small manufacturing companies. Dave is also a metal sculpture and lighting designer. We think it is possible to make people see that in our everyday lives we can surround ourselves with beautifully made and designed objects that make for a richer life, from the cup you drink your morning coffee or tea to the piece of paper you write your shopping list on.

MADE shop closes....


Hello to all of our friends & customers!

We would like to let you know our exciting news and our plans for the future.

We were offered a teaching position by the UGA (University of Georgia) studies abroad program in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy. We will be teaching the Metals part of the program and are very excited about the opportunity. The whole family will be moving to this old Etruscan Hilltop city in January and look forward to the experience of a lifetime. We will not be returning until the summer.
This of course means certain changes on the home front. We will be closing MADE shop and Studio after the Holidays and look forward to exploring new opportunities that have presented themselves upon our return.
So, if you would like to pop in one last time to wish us luck and for us to have the chance to say good-bye; now is the time!
For Holiday Shoppers, we are extending our hours and will be open everyday until we close (Dec. 24th) and are offering a 20% discount on all MADE Studio jewelry and sculpture, as well as discounts on lots of design pieces.
Thanks to all our customers. It's been a blast!

Who does not like Alexander Calder?

Some Alexander Calder (SANDY) inspired jewelry.
I have been on a forging and riveting kick lately - and Calder is the MAN.
