Scarlett Garnet hand-saws copper, sterling, and random scrap metal, turning raw materials into polished jewelry. License plates, make 'n bake plastic, and beverage labels are just a few of the alternative materials found in their jewelry. Hundreds of miles separate SG's designers, Garnet and Katie, yet they thrive in the collaboration, swapping ideas, supplies and epic text messages from opposite sides of Missouri. www.scarlettgarnet.com

I make jewelry out of interesting assemblages of found objects. Pendants, bracelets, rings, bridal bouquet charms, earrings...You name it. All found items are artfully arranged in silver-plated frames and cast in crystal-clear epoxy resin. I love doing custom work to help turn your special objects or memories into pieces of wearable art! www.narcise.net

I make funky jewelry from vintage beads — the more unique the better! I also create wedding stationery, baby announcements and greeting cards! www.aboutserendipity.com www.beyonddesign.etsy.com
