All earrings are made from antique and vintage findings such as Persian hand-painted enamel, Czech glass, cameo segments, pearls, coins or tokens of love, and gems from around the world.
Inside the Studio of Hannah Borg
I am a proud Momma of two beautiful girls who are my inspiration and heart. I live deep in the north woods of Maine with my husband and my faithful pup, Danno, an Irish Jack Russell Terrier (shorty Jack). We walk and explore the woods together or sometimes we just sit and take it all in.
I am a self-taught jewelry artist who is drawn to treasures with a past. Old, worn jewelry bits that I either repair or alter are made useful once more, bringing new life to these amazing old relics. It just works for me.
Fossil, minerals, and gemstones draw me in. Earthborn treasures and pearls of the ocean drive me, they too have life within them, they also have a story to tell.
Antique trade beads from the fur trade era were my first love which led me to gemstones and antique Murano glass beads.
LEAD DESIGNER
I am inspired by the unusual, the rustic, and time-worn treasures, each with a history of their own, re-imagined and hand-wired to become a new treasure with a new story yet to be told and handed down from generation to generation.
In the spring and summer, I am busy outside working in my gardens or spending time at our camp down along the river on our land. Fall and Winter are my busy time to work on our jewelry, there is nothing better than nestling in my studio on a snowy Maine day with my pup by my side.
This is a little bit about me. Now the story of my precious friendship with Michelle is a story in itself, a story of two hearts and a friendship that endures, two peas who happen to deeply love our families, our pets, and the world we are blessed to live in.
