"My current work has developed from an exploration of the vast richness of the natural world. Leaves, shells, stones, seeds, bones become the jewels in a wearable piece intended as an object of contemplation. Each fragment is remarkable. All are connected by systems and relationships that underlie the importance of the natural world on our lives and spirits.
The jewelry reliquaries contain precious natural objects that I have collected from my garden, neighborhood and travels." - Ann Jenkins
