Wow! Talk about getting back to nature. Andrea Williams at Bound Earth Jewelry definitely has an earthy side, pun intended. She has found a way to create wonderful organic jewelry using Mother Nature's original creations. The best thing is, she leaves the stones in their natural state, and only decorates or enhances them with precious metals.

Artist Statement
Growing up in Maine, I spent my summers sailing the coast, exploring its forests, rugged islands, and tidal pools. By age six, I could recognize most native plants and animals, and was forever fascinated with the limitless variety nature provides.
My jewelry is an expression of the wonder I sense in the overlooked intricacies in nature. When we see stones in infinite numbers underfoot at the beach, we cannot help but to miss the unique perfection in each. I use precious metals in conjunction with seemingly ordinary organic materials to capture that sense of wonder in each piece. A wearable reminder of the beauty within.
I live on the water. I stack rocks for fun. I collect seed pods. I spend summer days gardening. I find beauty in improbable places.
