After working conceptually for 4 years in the Crafts/
Material Studies program at Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of the Arts, Ginny decided she wanted her work to live on people instead of in a gallery. Ginny decided that production jewelry was her calling. Her love of jewelry stemmed from loving to work with her hands. For Ginny, adorning the body with those creations engages the wearer and the pieces in a way no other art format can. So in January 2016, she took her love of creating something for people to make stories in and jumped off the deep end and started her business!
Ginny makes versatile handmade jewelry & men's accessories. Her timeless yet modern and simple designs are hand-cut in recycled sterling silver, brass, and copper and are easy to dress up for work or a formal event or down for everyday wear. These effortless pieces are styles you’ll love to live in. Creating sustainable designs through ethical studio practices is something she strives for. Many of her designs are inspired by the “throwaways” of other pieces, allowing organic shapes to occur and virtually no material to go to waste. Her goal is to create goods that do good. Available products include trendy chokers, stackable rings, stud and drop earrings, layer-able necklaces, as well as men’s tie bars and money clips. There’s something for everyone!
Ginny's studio where she creates her work, is in her home on the Southside but her work is available for purchase at liberatusjewelry.com, in RVA at Quirk Gallery, the Shops at 5807, The Pink Ribbon Boutique, 68 Home, Flora & Finch, Alma’s Gallery, Jefferson Hotel’s Gator Gift Shop. It can be grabbed elsewhere at Bailey Road (Montpelier, VA), Made; For the People by the People (Staunton, VA), The Lost River Trading Post (in Wardensville, WV), and Revolt Style Studio (York, PA)
