About Materials

The Inspired Chaos Collection primarily focuses on semi-precious metals and is largely made from copper, brass, surgical stainless steel, and coated copper craft wire. Some pieces, especially those that incorporate higher-end cultured freshwater and saltwater pearls, utilize 925 sterling silver or Argentium. This is a non-tarnish sterling silver derivative. Additionally, certain jewelry components that do not come into contact with the skin, such as head pins, are often made from alloys or plated craft wire. For custom projects, I am more than happy to provide a quote for 14K or 18K gold.

The Inspired Chaos Studio line of jewelry features a diverse selection of materials in addition to semi-precious metals. This includes various types of crystals such as Austrian, Czech, and K9 crystals, as well as a wide array of Czech and Japanese glass seed beads. The designs also prominently showcase semi-precious and lapidary gemstones, including lapis, garnet, amethyst, and agate. And of course, pearls are a staple in my work! I also plan to maintain an ongoing blog to share information about these incredible materials.
