ABOUT

Shana Lee is from Brooklyn, NY.

I believe that objects resonate energy.

My jewelry is an extension of myself - it is infused with my spirit.

The actual making of the jewelry is energetic. It is an orchestra of hammers forging metal on anvils. It is fire, it is red hot gold spitting and sizzling in acid, it is drills driving through silver, and it is polishing wheels crooning and humming. It is loud. My studio is a frenzy of clinking and clanking and motors churning and the music playing. Then there is silence ... Meditative quiet concentration. Synergy, in which every element hangs just right: a pendant curves perfectly to the chest and one pair of earrings moves playfully while another sways with empowering seduction.

To me, each piece has an intention - it has an energetic purpose. While one piece's purpose may be to conjure up courage in the wearer, another piece is infused with a feeling of quiet grounding and yet another is meant to simply make the wearer feel absolutely, deeply, and ferociously gorgeous.

These specific intentions are indicative of my desire as a whole, which is, to bring out the goddess in every woman who wears my jewelry.
