If apple is the language of the future, then art must be the core."

Elliot Eisner

Hidden away in the Blue Ridge Mountains is Maureen Hearn, an extraordinary jeweler specializing in stunning copper creations. Living in the town of Copper Hill was an influence in her decision to use copper as her primary jewelry metal.

Beginning from scratch, so to speak, Maureen creates her own unique style of jewelry. She is constantly working on new styles and combines her copper creations with glass and stone as well as using silver and gold as accents.

While copper tends to tarnish quickly, Maureen takes the time to lacquer all her pieces by hand, so they remain as beautiful as the day you made your purchase.

Please take a moment to peruse her website, and enjoy the beauty of her "art" and soul.
