About T. Hawk Studio
T. Hawk Studio is founded on the principles of unique, custom design and quality craftsmanship. There is heavy inspiration found from Mother Nature by stone selection, pattern, and incorporating natural elements such as: found objects, wood, leather, feathers, eco-friendly materials and packaging.
Each piece starts out with reclaimed or sheet metal and round wire. The metal is then cast, hand sawn, rolled, textured, and fabricated using traditional bench techniques.
These pieces are for the bold, who love to make a statement. Everything at T. Hawk Studio is a true one-of-a-kind piece of wearable artwork.

Flying Frippery” is a series of work intended to express the feeling of being free. Free from time and the expectations of what jewelry should be.
For centuries, jewelry has been something we wear to accessorize our personal appearance. But what makes personal adornment more than a simple accessory? Jewelry is a talisman. A totem. An expression of who we are. A way of life. Freedom... In a world of accessories, these brooches have the ability to transform themselves into something more.
What if, while not being worn, jewelry had a place to be, a purpose? Flying Frippery dives into that concept. These pieces can stand on their own as simplified bird brooches. Once coupled with a display, they can ascend from personal adornment into visual art.
