Angie

2011-10-13T08:39:00.001-07:00

As I pack my studio, and prepare for my move to the Northwest, I can't help but reflect on the past eight years since I arrived in Colorado. There was college, climbing trip weekends, a mild obsession with intaglio etching, working for the Women's Wilderness Institute and Outward Bound, yoga instructor training, a brief stint at CP&B, the Eldorado Springs Art Center years, my NYC interlude... all along there have been so many inspiring people who have supported me, but today I'm going to honor just one: Angela Olsgard.

Some of you Boulderites may know her as "Angie Star." Angie is the owner of jewelry shop that is unlike another. She treats her customers like close friends, and her staff like family.

I first met Angie as a her customer. During college I visited the store to pick out a birthday gift for my mom. I remember Angie kindly and warmly showing me about the store and helping me find something with the January birthstone. I could see girls working in the metal studio at the back of the store... laughing, hammering- it looked like so much fun!

After graduating from college, I perused craigslist almost hourly for possible jobs. One morning, I found a posting for an apprenticeship at Angie Star Jewelry and almost spit out my tea in excitement. Soon, Angie welcomed me into the Angie Star world. Each day during my apprenticeship, Angie would teach me a new technique, like how to saw shapes from sheet metal, or how to hand make French wires. I was tentative at first, often asking if I was making things correctly and Angie would respond, "It's Beautiful!!! Miranda, look what Britta made!" I didn't always believe that my work was quite so praiseworthy, but soon, I wasn't afraid to try new techniques, or make up my own. I was introduced to jewelry in a positive environment, with no hard rules, and a lot of giggly girl talk. Even now, years into my jewelry education and practice, Angie is still teaching me new skills and answering my questions buying supplies, advanced techniques, and running a business. Angie knows.

Perhaps the most valuable lesson I've learned from Angie is how to juggle... life, that is, not bowling pins. Let me paint a picture for you. One day I was in the shop when Angie came in to complete a custom order requiring that special "Angie touch." The customer had a tight deadline, and called twice in one hour to check on the status. While Angie was trying to focus on her detailed metal work, I periodically asked questions about pricing, where to find a particular drill bit, and, "by the way, how do you do a prong setting?" When I wasn't demanding her attention, Angie's lovely sister was calling for suggestions about a wedding present she was buying. I could hear Angie provide genuine insights about which bowl to choose, even on her sister's third call. Angie's husband, Rob, came in with their beautiful baby girl who needed feeding from Angie. Michelle made sure it was clear that this feeding was required NOW. At about this same time, the accountant arrived and started asking Angie to recall ancient passwords. "Ring, Ring, Ring!" Yep, it's the customer asking if Angie has completed that custom order yet. Had I been in Angie's shoes that day, there would have been some passive aggressive rudeness, maybe even tears. Not Angie. She remained cool, calm, kind, and staggering sensitive to the needs of all those around her.

Angie, thanks so much for all of your support over the years. I feel so lucky to know you and can't imagine what career I'd be perusing without your example, but I know I wouldn't love it was much as I love making jewelry... and doing it over some girl talk.

Layering Jewelry for Summer

2011-07-11T09:01:00.000-07:00

July is already here and the temperature is climbing. Summer style is all about staying cool, comfortable and colorful.

Here's how to do it:

Start with a simple, soft, solid-colored shift dress... it's worth the time to find the dress you never want to take off. By accessorizing with different jewelry, you can wear it over and over while keeping it fresh. (This one is the "Presto Dress" in Royal Purple by Horney Toad... my personal FAVORITE.)

Next, play with layered necklaces to take advantage of the scoop neckline. Why do layered necklaces work so well? Artistically, the eye has a lot to experience: color, texture, pattern, line and even movement as each necklace will swing to its own rhythm. Think about bringing in something faceted and sparkly (the long necklace), something all metal with an interesting pattern (medium), and something short and sweet that you can keep on when the others are removed for swimming (silk teardrop necklace).

*Remember to keep it simple. If you layer three necklaces, choose subtle earrings or go earring-free. If you wear stunning chandelier or hoop earrings, pull your hair back and skip the necklaces. Less is more when summer temperatures are high.

The necklace is not the only accessory that loves to be layered! Play with rings too. Mix gemstones, with simple bands. Create a bold, fun, and artistic statement. Small, delicate rings become an eye-catching ensemble. Pictured here: Faceted Carnelian Ring, Hammered Band, Prehnite Ring. (Britta's gemstone rings are on sale until 7/17/11 on Anja Artisan Jewelry.)

The Process Necklace

2010-10-02T08:09:00.000-07:00

It is important to remember that everything we do is part of a process. Whether it is a career, a relationship, or our quest to run that full marathon... there is a start, middle and end to every story. The beginning is full of excitement and hope. In the middle, we might struggle, and find it hard to trust that we will reach the place we started out for. When we finally do cross that finish line, it's time to reflect on just how far we've come. So... wherever you may be in your process, wear this necklace to keep perspective.

Custom Etched Cuff

2010-08-10T05:43:00.001-07:00

When you are shopping for a very special someone, and require a gift as unique as they are... think about going custom.

This cuff was designed for a young woman with a passion for single speed bikes. We started with a series of sketches to get the image just right. The design is created on the sterling silver using a process call etching, in which areas of the metal are dissolved in an acid bath creating the texture on the the surface. No image or pattern is out of reach!

With the holiday season on the horizon, it's time to start getting creative...

Ribbon Weave Cuff

2010-05-22T08:45:00.000-07:00

The inspiration for this cuff came from a belt I bought when I was a freshman in collage. Silk ribbon is weaved in and out of the leather and riveted in place. It has been a favorite piece for many years and I'm, actually, wearing it right now! Sometimes the best inspiration is right there in front of you.

Sterling silver is cut by hand to accommodate delicate, 100% silk ribbon. A juxtaposition of cool metal, and soft, delicate ribbon. Ribbon is secured in place with hand-made silver rivets, stamped on the inside with "XO" for the love that went into making this piece. Unique. Definitely a fast favorite!

Choose between brush finish silver and indigo blue, or high shine and dusty-rose pink.

My Bones are Not Made of Glass

Inspired by the character "Mr. Glass" in the film, "Amelie," this necklace reminds us that we are strong enough to take life's knocks. Our bones are not made of glass, but if we act like they are, we become more and more frail. Instead we can accept risks knowing that we will not shatter if something goes wrong. At the same time, the delicate cut-out bones hint that although we are strong, we are human, with human fragility.

Sterling silver is etched and cut by hand. Chain of sterling silver, 14k gold fill, green amethyst and blue quartz.
