For the June/July issue of Button I am talking to jewelry designers around Portland about their design styles, the crafting market in Portland and my favorite, their inspirations. Vintage designs from Anna Korte (AK Vintage Jewelry) are made from entirely vintage pieces she scores at estate sales, antique stores and old costume jewelry warehouses. Korte finds inspiration for each line from poets like E.E. Cummings and spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca The sustainable and vintage jewelry line Paper Treasure (below) is designed by Jesseca McCloskey. Each piece is inspired and named after a shipwreck.
