One day in the mid 80s I was watching TV in my mom’s bedroom and she walked in and shoved this ring in my face & said “look what I made” and I took it & put it in & said “thanks Mom”. I never took it off (except for aikido class & ballet performance) Today it wore through. Metaphor much? . #mokumme #mokummegane #silvercoppermokumme #mokummering #carrieadell #carrieadellgoldsmith #carrieadellmokumme #designerjewelry #estatejewelry #thanksmom #itwasagoodring #artjewelry #marriedmetals #contemporarydesigngroup https://www.instagram.com/p/ClkLYCfPJkx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s #worldhoneybeeday. These pieces were made by my mom in the late 1970s. The matching bracelet was donated to a KQED auction in 1981I think. The pendants were in the deYoung Museum Catalog. 14K gold life-sized honeybees, honeycomb & Citrine honey. . . #honeybeejewelry #goldhoneybees #goldjewelry #carrieadell #carrieadelldesigner #kqed #scalemodelgoldbee #designerjewelry #deyoungmuseum #contemporarydesigngroup #designerjewelry #carriedaway #carriedawayjewelry #americancraftcouncil https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7MfMppHFd/?igshid=b8h1cvb36ycm

Yes, she also invented steampunk. . #carrieadell #carrieadelldesigner #carrieadellgoldsmith #touchstone #touchstonebead #shakudo #gold #gears #finejewelry #designerjewelry #artjewelry #patina #handmadebead #handmademetalbead #famousmothers #famousjewelrydaughters #patinagallery #aaronfabergallery #americancraftcouncil #agta #jckshow #marriedmetals #contemporarydesigngroup #contemporaryjewelry #legacyjewelry #jewelrycollector (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HjBnkpsot/?igshid=1eibaft9wtj8x
