"Incarnations" -..
"Something old into Something new'~
I created the Incarnations line as I adore antique jewelry. More
than adore, I am
intrigued and sometimes captivated by it. Creating something new
out of something old bridges the gap of yesteryear and present
day and the future, bringing new life to each locket. As I design
each unique piece, I wonder about the original owner ... the life
she led, the people she loved enough to wear close to her heart,
and the memories held there. Every once in awhile, I come across
a locket with faded, sepia photos still enclosed, a
time capsule of sorts .Gently,] remove these images of people of
another time, a small
pile of families by my side. My heart skips a beat when I find
a locket worn and dented
with wear. When I look closely I see tbat the dents are the indentions
oftmy teeth I
reaJize that this locket was an object of comfort for a small child
... How lovely is that?
There are few greater joys than this. To those of you who share
my romantic thoughts
and daydreams, we can keep something close to our hearts that was
a symbol of
everlasting Jove so many years ago and for many years to come.
