Reckless Rings creates innovative and fresh jewelry . We see jewelry as wearable art—small scale sculpture for the body. It reflects the wearer’s personality, and interests. It can, at its best, express ideas and communicate symbolically as does full sized sculpture. We use whatever materials and techniques are needed, without regard to monetary value and conventional expectations; but with regard to ecological, social, and ethical factors, in creating our jewelry—our art.
