Jewelry is a powerful statement -and an ancient one. Among the artifacts unearthed from previous civilizations are forged rings, lapis pendants, carved bone bracelets and delicate earrings made of gold. We’ve been decorating ourselves for thousands of years, and I see no reason to stop now. Which is why I’m so happy to see local jeweler Sophie Hughes making a splash around Boston.
She works primarily with recycled materials, making her jewelry a very Eco-conscious treat. Sophie has been celebrated by magazines like the Improper Bostonian, Boston Common and Boston Magazine. and her pieces have been seen on Bella Hadid and Rose Byrne. Yay Sophie!
Sophie’s store, Ore, is right down the street from our house and I met Sophie at her shop shortly after we moved back to the neighborhood. We chatted about the jewelry that she makes, and also about the other artists she carries in her store. The pieces featured here are all hers – she notes that she makes jewelry for everyday life, pieces you don’t have to take off and pieces that feel good on your skin. I wish her all the success in the world, she’s a real talent and her work is beautiful.
