I grew up playing in a junkyard in Wisconsin.
My father restored antique cars. He saw Duesenbergs parts. I saw tiny washers, light bulbs and springs that looked more like delicate jewelry components. 
JunkYard Jewelry was born. 
I like to think of my work as my father’s cars reincarnated into wearable art. Up-cycled industrial and mechanical components are transformed into necklaces, bracelets and earrings from JunkYard Jewelry.
