3 Spike Necklace in Sterling Silver

My name is Michelle Chang and I live and work in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn in NYC.  I'm originally from Seoul, Korea but I consider myself a New Yorker as my family moved to NYC when I was 7.  

I was at one time an aspiring fine artist, an interior designer, and an illustrator.  Although I found enjoyment in doing all of those things,nothing compares to the degree of satisfaction and affinity that I feel when I make jewelry.  Most likely because jewelry making is unique in that it allows me to incorporate all the various skills and interests that I've accrued up till now.

To me, jewelry making is drawing, design, sculpture, and craft.  It's art embodied in a tiny object, one that can be worn to become a part of the person wearing it.  

I find inspiration in many things small and large, natural and man-made, living and inert.  Every piece of jewelry is made by hand here in New York City.  I don't think I'll ever have enough time to make all the jewelry I envision in my head.  Depending on the design, I may make a wax model for casting, or work directly with metal.  Sometimes I do a combination of both.  I work mostly in silver and gold, sometimes with precious or semi-precious stones.
