Each piece is individually soldered, cut, sawn, filed, sanded, and polished in our Kansas City studio from recycled sterling silver wire and sheet. These are part of the MeritMade Essentials line and are meant to be worn and loved every day.

About the artist - Kelly Conner received her BFA in metalsmithing at the University of Kansas. After graduating, she worked as an apprentice for a well-respected Kansas City jeweler for two years. She left metalwork for almost a decade to work in the corporate sector. She returned to her artisan roots and the metalworking trade in 2014. She founded MeritMade and hasn’t looked back! When Kelly isn’t at the bench making beautiful creations, she teaches jewelry-making workshops and attends art shows around the country. To learn more about Meritmade and Kelly, click here.
