Distinction's Story
How do I describe Distinction Jewelry? It's handmade by me, Jackie. I do the cutting, forging, filing, sanding, soldering, pickling, patina-ing and polishing. 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 and 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 not by adding notches around the edge. I use different hammers and stamps 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. I am happy to share my work with you!
