In a small adobe home where the rugged San Juan Mountains of Colorado meet the open desert of Georgia O’Keefe’s New Mexico, a St. Louis ex-pat started bending and hammering her first pieces of wearable art over 15 years ago. Erin Weaver is an artist, an archeologist and a creative force, who embraced the open lands of the West, while never giving up her urban sophistication. Studio451Jewelry is the physical representation of that spirited independence and self-aware style. Inspired by natural elements and by finding simplicity in complex design, Studio451Jewelry is designed for the woman who owns her creativity and individuality. Whether her boots are caked with mud or scuffed by concrete, Studio451 pieces are the ideal complements for the woman who wants her jewelry to reflect the many dimensions of what makes her unique.

Wide curved metal piece with hammered edges measures 3 ¾ inches across, ½ inch at its widest point, tapering to narrow ends that attach to 13 inches of oxidized chain with adjustable links to be worn as a choker or close to the neck. Hand formed and contoured to conform to the body. Available in brass or copper, sterling silver available upon request.
