Sometimes we’re called in a new direction. Stop. Breathe. Unfamiliar roads often lead to beautiful places. Automotive brake line hammered and formed to create an unexpected design. 

There’s a story behind each Mend design. Its name, origin and parts used to create it are on the back of each Mend jewelry tag. Also, you’ll find the signature of the Mend maker who created the piece of jewelry you’ve purchased.

Products are made by hand and may vary slightly. Please take care to not wear in shower or pool, or expose to hairspray or perfume.

Thoughts on the project:

Initially, I was at a stand-still because I rarely make jewelry. I chose to look at it from a technical standpoint. With limited tools and material resources, I worked as simple as I could think of. I created my designs using the copper-nickel brake line, three different types of hammers, and an anvil. Only by hammering, I was able to create a variety of cuffs, all with their own unique styling and patterns. It ended up teaching me a valuable lesson; sometimes less is more. This project made me step away from what I normally do, and stop and breathe.
