Loving Anvil - Unsung Hero
Posted: 8/6/07
One of my favorite online boutiques, Unsung Designers, recently emailed me to let me know they’re hosting a members-only sale featuring all the new stuff from jewelry designers Loving Anvil.
I had no idea who/what Loving Anvil was, but upon closer inspection I realized how absolutely darling, tongue-in-cheek and lovingly crafted the work really was. Loving Anvil (aka Coco Corral) specializes in hand forged (not cast) silver jewelry. This means that she actually hammers the metal into shape (Holy Middle Ages, Batman!). Not only this, but she proclaims her love of pop culture and works out of a barn in Maine that was built in 1880. The ring to the right is made with a real wood insert and has the words ‘Knock on Wood’ inscribed on it. I’m in love.
