Simple and made with intention.
Hello There!! My name is Shaun, and I am the creator of Peles Song Jewelry. We reside in Rural Retreat, VA. and have a small family of six. This is pure enjoyment for me and I love making every piece. I learned to make jewelry by apprenticing under another artist and learning all the basics to creating little pieces of metal art. She taught me how to solder, saw, set stones, make rings, and make my own stamps out of center punches and chisels to create little drawings on metal.
Every marking on my hand stamped pieces is like a brush stroke on a painting to create a picture. The stamps that I use are all custom made by me to create my own original designs. It often takes hundreds of strikes with multiple stamps to create a picture. All jewelry is one of a kind, and made to provide a sense of comfort and hope for the one wearing it. Inspiration for jewelry comes from nature and the force of creation behind it all. The creations come from a quieted mind and are usually not planned.
“ To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment”
