About Me


 

Hey there! I'm Christine Novell, a lifelong artist and silversmith from East Texas. I transform silver sheet and wire into artful jewelry using traditional techniques. Each piece I create is thoughtfully designed and crafted to bring joy and become a treasured item in your collection.

My son Ryan has dedicated himself to mining some of the most sought-after minerals in Nevada, including Variscite and Turquoise. These minerals are hand-mined and possess a stunning gem-like quality, with each stone boasting unique colors and patterns that are truly one-of-a-kind. I am honored to incorporate these magnificent stones into my jewelry designs, allowing their natural beauty to shine through.

I'm incredibly grateful for your support of my small, USA-made business, and for being a part of my journey!

Stay Wild and Free!

 


  • Custom

    This customer had an existing stone he dug with Ryan @ conscious_creators on IG. I hand sketched the design and fabricated it from flat sheet silver and decorative wire. Hand textured, with a blackened patina that highlights the textures and adds a vintage patina, which I love.

  • SOLD

    Gorgeous vintage vibe with 14K gold, Sterling, and Cloud Chaser Hand Mined Turquoise.

  • SOLD

    Funky and Fun! Fused Sterling Metal scraps combined with Turquoise Beads.

  • SOLD

    I hand-twisted wire to spell "WILD" and soldered it onto hand-fabricated base. Added leather fringe with punched detail. This one is so darn cute on!

  • PERSONAL

    Sometimes I make something I can't part with....maybe more than I should, but isn't that the fun of being an artist???

    I loved this Bat and when I'm feelin bat shit crazy I wear it.

  • CUSTOM

    I could make butterflies forever. They flutter so delicately and remind us life is both beautiful and fleeting. This one was chunky and quite a statement!

    This was one I wanted to keep, the stone was so gorgeous. Luckily, it went to a family member, and I still get to see it!

  • SOLD

    This adorable bird has a belly of turquoise. I'll miss this one!

    self : You can't keep them all, Christine!!

    self: I know...I know... it's so hard.

  • SOLD

    I love a double band. This one had some texture and layering, but I kept the focus on the killer hand-mined Turquoise.

  • SOLD

    The color of this variscite stone was so unique and creamy. I was inspired by a shape on the sheet of silver I was using and loved the asymmetrical design.

  • SOLD

    Sometimes, a simple Heart says it all.

  • SOLD

    Simple little butterfly for a young girl.

  • SOLD

    I prefer creating items from my silver scrap instead of recycling it. These are fused scrap, very chunky, and topped with sweet hearts.
