Shannon Carney Jewelry is hand-crafted from 18kt and 14kt gold, precious and semi-precious stones.

 

HAMMERED GOLD : Each piece of Shannon Carney Jewelry is hammered by hand. This allows Shannon to create subtly irregular surfaces, as well as to provide strength to her lightweight, and often intricate designs. 

  

GEMSTONES :  Shannon thinks beauty comes in all colors, shapes, and sizes.  Certain stones are selected specifically for their irregularities, imperfections, and small inclusions. Together, these details all contribute to making each piece of jewelry uniquely elegant.
