Inspired by her grandmother’s penchant for old English silverware, crafter Jennifer Northup of Silver Spoon Jewelry creates exquisite necklaces, bracelets, watches, and earrings from vintage silverware – particularly pieces with heirloom patterns of the 1800s. I have indeed fallen madly in love with her work – the Julia Necklace and Elaine Ring (see above) – are simply stunning. And hey, Jennifer also makes belt buckles, cufflinks, vases, and business card holders – all are repurposed. Northup is one of many crafters who will be presenting at this year’s Sugarloaf Crafts Festival in Timonium. See my previous post for more details.
