Holly, paint, sterling silver; 2.125H x .375W x .75D” All pieces are carved Holly wood, painted, sanded and clear coated. Morgan Hill, Bakersville, NCMorgan Hill's jewelry embodies the moment when you are about to have too much of a good thing. It’s the buzz you get from standing at the precipice of over-indulgence and knowing you might step off. It’s the taste of too much gin in your cocktail, the sound of frozen tater tots hitting a metal pan at midnight, the last ray of sunshine as you leave home on a Friday night. Like all indulgences, buying and wearing jewelry is a burst of excitement and joy but it holds the potential for a desire-fueled obsession. Some of my collections celebrate literal vices, others imply indulgence through color and form. Either way, Bad Habits sees jewelry as a way to fulfill an urge. It’s that little something you need to feel good. Or, maybe you don’t, but you want it anyway.
