We Are What We Believe!
19/21 Jewelry is my personal creative collection that are one-of-a-kind pieces using an early 19th century method of collodion and bringing it to life in the 21st century - hence, “19/21.” Each piece is magical in its own way and represents all things that are lasting and beautiful.
This ambrotype mesures 20x30mm and has such an interesting look! One of my favorite authors, C.S. Lewis said, “We are what we believe we are” and it is so so true! This is a timeless piece with a timeless quote inside. You need to hold the piece at different angles and then the quote magically appears. Created by shooting a picture of the printed quote. Comes with a 24” silver plated chain. You can see the chemistry behind glass and that brings it to life!
This is a hand crafted, one-of-a-kind ambrotype! This necklace is shot with a large format camera using a mid-1800’s method of wet plate collodion. The image is shot directly onto the glass itself, developed, fixed and finished by hand.
These little gems are definitely labor intensive and no two are alike. If you are interested in a piece, I suggest to snatch it up before it is gone because there will never be another one like it again. The artistry of tintypes and ambrotypes can be intricate and intense.
Chemicals often can react differently each and every time, therefore, giving each piece beautiful and unique attributes. Small inclusions, chemical sweeps or imperfections are a part of the charm of each piece and most are also individually signed.
I load and photograph each piece using my 10x10 Chamonix large format camera in studio and take much time and effort setting up each shot. I use an early 1900’s brass lens that enables me to capture such magical “gem” sized images. Some pieces have an iridescent quality due to the embedded silver and looks curious at different angles.
Be sure to use a soft, 100% cotton cloth or microfiber to wipe and care for your jewelry and treat it kindly for years and years to come.
Each piece comes with it’s own suede pouch and cleaning cloth.
