I started ChickeeBoom several years ago and it has brought me more joy and feelings of accomplishment than I could have ever imagined. The original concept was to sell the creations of my favorite jewelry designers, but when people kept asking me for deeply personal, customized creations, I began to incorporate more of my own designs into the mix.
The more I created my custom silver jewelry, the more joy I got from seeing how much my customers LOVED their new pieces. They would put them around their necks or on their arms and often never take them off. These pieces—my pieces—had become these wonderful symbols of love for their families and friends. That was amazing. I had created something that became more than the sum of its individual parts. That was very cool.
So I decided that that is what I wanted ChickeeBoom to be: jewelry with meaning.
I have been really focusing on the study of symbolism, meditation and religion while developing my new designer line. I am so excited to share with you my new charms. They represent everything from animal spirit guides to religious icons, signs of the zodiac to meditation symbols, each with deeper meaning passed down for centuries, or simply to the individual.
I hand sculpt each of the charms and then fire them in my kiln. The result is a charm that is 99.9% pure silver. The sculpting process is so individual each charm has its own markings and characteristics. I love the way that each mark represents how personal the creation process is to me. I have decided that whenever they occur, I would leave them in the charms. Each one is as unique and individual as the wearer, not just something mass produced for one-time usage. I love that my jewelry is something cherished by the wearer, whether purchased for him or herself, or as a gift that will last a lifetime.
All of my leather bracelets and leather cuffs begin as a big leather hide- I hand cut all of my bracelets and then customize them by either adding fine silver plates or adding inscriptions by burning them right into the leather with a hot iron. I love the smell of leather and I also love how versatile and forgiving it is. It has a character that is unsurpassed by just about any other raw material.
