About the girl behind the jewelry...
Distinction's Story
How do I describe Distinction Jewelry? It's handmade by me, Jackie. I saw, forge, file, sand, solder, fuse, pickle, patina, set, and polish. I love unique, imperfect, jewelry. When I'm designing a piece, I have an idea in mind where I want to end up but the process to get there is not a straight path. My aesthetic is rough, artistic, unique, rustic. I love organic shapes and I am inspired by mountains, flowers - nature! I love cutting up bezels to mimic a mountain ridge and setting an amazing stone in that bezel. When finishing with filing and sanding, I accentuate the organic feel by adding notches around the edge. I use different hammers and anvils to create different textures on the metals I use. I am proud to say, the pieces I make are absolutely pieces I love to wear and I am excited to share my work with you!
