  • Black lives matter. . The last couple weeks I have been paused in sharing my own work while I amplified melanated voices and followed the events and conversations that are happening in our country, in my own community, and on the internet. . While I will resume posting some of my own work, there is no going back to business as usual. I’ve been reflecting on my upbringing & experiences, my whiteness and the privileges I hold, and how I’ve seen or not seen them throughout my life. I’ve been coming to terms with my ignorance and my complacency and confronting my inherent belief in my ‘goodness’. I’ve been having a lot of discussions with my friends and family about whiteness, systemic racism, and white supremacy. I’ve been digging in deeper to what I don’t know and will continue to investigate all of these things. Most of all I’m trying to listen better. . My business is at a fraction of itself right now due to the effects of covid19 and I’m now using this time to educate myself and find longterm sustainable ways to support the BLM movement. I’ll also work on integrating this learning and support into my business model including monthly ongoing donations to organizations such as @nationalbailout @thelovelandfoundation as well as to individual funds. I will continue to use my platform to share anti-racist resources & educational information and amplify voices in the Black community, seek out and buy from Black owned businesses over corporations (#fuckamazon), and I will continue to engage in conversations with my friends, family, peers, strangers, and those in my artist community. I will continue this work today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life.

  • RePosted• @monachalabi Not shown here: 400 year timeline of state violence against black bodies (see stories of @monachalabi) . I deleted my last post of a black square after reading about the damaging effect those posts were having. I have a lot of learning to do, and I'm still becoming aware of the layers of my privilege every day. As a white person I may never fully understand the experience of being a black person in America, but I will try to learn. I have been and will continue to listen, learn, unlearn, communicate, donate, amplify black voices, vote, vote with my dollars, and take tangible actions to be anti-racist. I'll fuck it up and be uncomfortable, I'll do my best to learn from my mistakes and my ignorance, and I'll continue to work at doing these things every day going forward. . On Monday an angry and armed white mob gathered at the 26th precinct 2 blocks from my apartment to protect their neighborhood and property and to protect the police. The police were friendly with these men and defended their right to be armed and gather. I watched first hand as the police were unresponsive to requests for help for an assault that happened right in front of me. . We watched multiple vehicles filled with armed angry men whip circles in front of our apartment, shouting and revving, clear attempts at intimidation. We witnessed one of them run a bicyclist off the road multiple times.  Police were present at the end of the block and intermittently driving and biking past, they were clearly ignoring calls by bystanders to intercede or even monitor these incidents. . This large group of armed men (carrying bats & golf clubs, a hatchet and sledge hammer) later moved from the precinct to the other end of our block where the police stood and watched them for several hours well after curfew with no effort to disband them. And yet, protesters all over our country during the day time were being gassed and pepper sprayed for standing, kneeling, sitting, or walking peacefully. It is so painfully clear which side the police are on. #defundthepolice #beabetterally

  • This was my major color inspo for my newest CMYK colorway (along with all things @lisafrank) I'll have a couple pairs available later this week! 🦄🌈🦋🐝🌺 . Each one is hand painted which means with three colors that they definitely all turn out different! ___________ #cmyk #colorinspo #lisafrank #paintedsteel #paint #cmyk #contemporaryjewelry #color #sunshine #phillymade #philadelphia #jeralodgejewelry

  • These ooak Blue Blue Yellow fan earrings are a little more subtle than the rainbows in case you're feeling colorful yet quiet. 🦋💛🦋 . I'm making a few more variations on the CMYK rainbow earrings and will be listing them sometime in the next week or so if that's your jam! 🌈🦄🦋🦑🐤🦠🚨🎀🔮 . My new routine involves studio time a couple days a week. We're still in stay home orders and I do that most of the time, but a little work still needs to be done! 👩🏼‍🏭👩🏼‍💻 _________ #whatdayisit #monday #dayday #paintedearrings #blue #yellow #handmade #artdecojewelry #graffitipaint #contemporaryjewelry #philadelphia #phillymade #jeralodgejewelry

  • Everything is feeling kind of extra lately. Extra quiet. Extra intense. Extra snacks. Extra movies. Extra awareness of the precariousness of my current life balance. Extra time with the person you live with. Extra time alone. Extra studio time. Extra time at home. It's a great time to get a little extra with your jewelry. Break up the extra strangeness and get a little extra with your bling. I'm working on ways to be extra that also bring extra smiles. Seriously extra new things coming soon. Meanwhile, you can get this extra bling ring online 💖🌟🔥🌈 __________ #extra #beextraordinary #handmade #contemporaryjewelry #cocktailring #cocktailhour #quarantinelife #keumboo #jewelry #hexagon #geometry #geometricjewelry #jeralodgejewelry

  • I'm very excited to have finally finished these silver chevron earrings! They're part of a limited edition series that's been on my bench for.....a while.... 😂 . I started these earrings in January. Then I got busy with paper work, inventory tracking, volunteering at the the phs flower show for a week, followed by getting sick for a week, followed by a new reality called #quarantinelife which maybe you might have heard of idk? 🙈😬 . This week has had the first days where I've felt any inkling of motivation or interest to sit at my bench. It felt like a small miracle that I actually wanted to make work, and that I picked up these earrings and finished them and I enjoyed the process. 🥳 . They're available in my shop if you want this bit of silver joy on your ears! Don't forget all orders ship free and include a gift as well, details online. 💛 ________ #chevron #artdecojewelry #silver #earrings #shopsmall #womanownedbusiness #mothersday #motivation #contemporaryjewelry #phillymade #philadelphia #jeralodgejewelry

  • Took a moment to make something for myself, and my plant 🦌🌱 . I got this staghorn fern a few years ago and it's been...surviving.... 😂 It came in a pot and I recently got some sheet moss to wrap it up so I decided to make a cute little woven basket for it! Maybe it'll survive a little longer now it's all dressed up! 💃 . Swipe for a close up and process/practice shots ➡️ __________ #staghornfern #makersgonnamake #metalsmith #handmade #stayhome

  • I accidentally started quarantine more than a week early thanks to a nasty cold, and I've spent most of the last 3 weeks sewing masks. Yesterday, I went to my studio and sat down to work for the first time since the end of February when I had been working on this giant batch of spire earrings. I finally finished them up and tossed them in the tumbler! It felt a little weird but here I am 😂 . If you'd like to dress up your ears, you can find these triple spire dangles on my website along with many other hot styles that will definitely take your day and night pajama looks from a 1 to 🔥🔥🔥 . If you're waiting for an order from me, things are going in the mail this week! 💌📦 _________ #pajamaparty #spring #handmade #smallbusiness #chandelierearrings #contemporaryjewelry #philadelphia #phillymade #jeralodgejewelry
