She hand carves her pieces in wax to give shape to her feeling-forms and solidifies them by casting them into metal. These forms resemble those found in nature, tying her inner world to the outer efflorescence she feels resonating in her core while immersed outdoors. She creates jewelry to collaborate with the human body. These embellishments interact as an extension of the body, thus nature is not something we set out to find, but is something we are apart of.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p1\"\u003eAlexis is committed toward using ethical and sustainable practices in her studio and in her work. She recycles all materials (from wax to metal). In her work she uses recycled stones sourced and inspected by her amazing Mother (a gemologist). We use conflict-free diamonds and work with certified dealers who share the same values. A large portion of stones used in her work are found locally on rock hounding expeditions being able to trace the material authentically and ethically.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sterling-silver-turquoise-statement-ring-bison","title":"Sterling Silver \u0026 Turquoise Statement Ring - \"Bison\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso known as the American buffalo, bison roamed the plains of North America before nearly being driven to extinction in the 1880s.
