Anne has very kindly agreed to GIVE AWAY one of these beautiful “wire wrapped” rings!

I have been a follower and admirer or Anne’s jewelry from long, long ago. Anne has been designing jewelry since 2005, after a stint as a fashion designer in Los Angeles. Anne says: “I approach design and merchandising the same way as a fashion designer as far as what pieces go in a collection and how a retail buyer/merchandiser would put together their select pieces for their store and customers.”  

 “I am very interested in ancient, primitive jewelry and their simple but modern quality.  There were no extruded wires or sheets of metal but hand pounded lumpy and organic looking things.  No perfect looking soldered joints but irregular and skewed angles and edges.  I see jewelry as an object that changes and progresses with wear, like wood or marble wearing down where traffic is the highest over the years.”  

Go to AnneMaaDesigns, click on “Rings” and look at the entire line of rings. It’s the “wire wrapped”rings that she is offering in this Giveaway. But while you’re there, look at her entire line of gorgeous jewelry.
