Margaret Hinge [2011, Jewelry + Metalsmithing]

Marge Hinge creates evocative jewels that capture the wonders of the earth’s materials into empowering adornments. I wanted to find a way to take the beauty of a piece of stone and make it wearable without the barriers of metal. My pieces, beyond being art, serve as wearable talismans. People often find themselves drawn to certain stones and feel they benefit from wearing them.
