I ordered wedding bands for my fiance and I. The leaf print is beautiful! The rings are so unique and they fit perfectly. Shipping was very fast.

We ordered a wedding ring for my fiance. We love it so much! When we first got the ring it was a size too small, but we were able to send it back and have it re-sized with no problems at all. The ring looks great in person and is very comfortable. I highly recommend working with this seller, we are very happy :)

This ring is gorgeous. I bought it as my fiance's wedding band and he loves it so much that he didn't want to wait for the wedding to wear it haha. Wonderful artist to work with, and we would definitely come back!

This one of my first etsy purchases, and purchasing from polkadile has set the standard high! Excellent communication (even when the post office delivered the product to the wrong box), and excellent product. Thank you!

A rare animal, a friend of your imagination

We work with our hands and we transform the world, yet we still have lot to learn from nature. This natural beauty is what inspires me every day. The beauty of the materials, as well as the beauty of living, growing things. I try to express this in my work. Sometimes I do it literally like the textures transferred to metal surfaces. Other times I let in as imperfections, as undulating forms. Accidents are welcome guests, and I don't overlook them as flaws, but give them a chance to develop their own beauty.

I build the work with metal clay on sterling silver skeleton structures. I mix materials as they present themselves. I graft them on top of each other like symbiotic species.

I build small scale and jewelry pieces because while nature is grandiose, it is also very intimate. I want to bring to our attention that it doesn't take much to find and connect to our roots.

My work celebrates discovery in miniature, strength in significance, personification of memory. The pieces offered here are an illustration where my mind has gone, and perhaps give an insight where it may wonder yet.
