Charming fish done in a primitive style. About 1 1/2 inches long from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the fish charm. Very lightweight! Silverfilled ear wires. Made in Oregon. Joe Brinton earned a B.F.A. in ceramics at Alfred University in upstate New York in 1982. After returning to Oregon, his interest in clay sculpture evolved into a passion for jewelry. After a few years as a designer for another company he successfully set out to sell his own works at arts festivals in the Northwest. Over time the business expanded into wholesale with the help of Marie Bliven, Joe's wife and creative collaborator. All Joseph Brinton jewelry is made at their studio in Portland. The original jewelry components are made from etched brass, copper/nickel/zinc alloy, copper and aluminum. A variety of unique surface treatments are used including baked-on organic enamels, oxidation and hammering. Every piece is treated with an invisible tarnish resistant protective coating.
