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.

This necklace measures 1.2 inches in diameter and hangs from your choice of 16 or 18 inches of bronze oxidized chain with a lobster clasp. Almost a full disc has a curved sliver cut out from the top, hammered along the edges, oxidized at the bottom and fades to natural metal.
