"I am indeed a Savannah native…Pooler to be exact. I graduated from SCAD in 2004 with a degree in metals and jewelry. I gave the “real work force” a run for its money and soon decided it wasn’t for me. So here I am back in Savannah starting my own company. I built a workshop and stay in it as much as I can. I love things that are made by hand. I love the sacrifice of time it takes to make a gift or card or to stop and write a quick note. I want to put this into all my pieces. It’s a wonderful thing to spend time and care on something and have someone else enjoy it as much as me. My main inspirations for my work are the little, old treasures I find… I love hunting and gathering things from the past. These objects have already had one life or maybe they have been waiting for years to find their place on a necklace or brooch."—Halligan Norris
