Jewelry is Art, Too
Who says all that glitters is gold? Why can't it be "all that glitters is gold and silver?" Jewelry designer and goldsmith, Amy Whittington of St. Albans, demonstrates just how gold and silver, as a combination or separate, surpass the old saying.
More than 17 years ago, Amy discovered her gift of sculpting while working as a dental lab technician. After practicing this newly revealed talent, she landed a part-time job at a jewelry store. Within five years, Amy was responsible for the entire store, became an advanced stone setter and earned the title of designer and goldsmith. Amy says there is "something everyone is supposed to do in their lifetime." Indeed she has found it.
Between her necklaces, earrings, rings and brooches Amy obtains her inspiration from nature, ancient coins and a variety of everyday things. If you would like to witness her timeless jewelry, visit Tamarack, Showcase West Virginia or the Clay Center. Amy will also create special orders and can be reached at (304) 727-5703.
