When I design and fabricate my jewelry, I keep quality, comfort and creativity a priority. My jewelry is very versatile; it can be worn every day with casual attire, or for special occasions, and I offer a full line so it is easy for you to collect sets.

All the work on this site is available only through my galleries. If you live near one of the galleries please give them a visit. I would not be in business without their support, so please support them.

DANIEL TINSMAN

In 2002, after 20 years as a partner at Tinsman Bros. Lumber, I left to help with Sherry’s growing business. I do all the bookkeeping, shipping, and along with Kaya, all of the graphic design. When not sitting at the computer, I’m in charge of polishing the jewelry and being the chief maintenance officer.
In my spare time, my interests have included making biodiesel from used vegetable oil,  brewing beer in the basement, and mostly playing around with old British Cars. I have three. One works. I think cheese making is next on my list.

KAYA TINSMAN

I am the daughter of Sherry and Dan and I am happy to have joined the family business. I Graduated from Pratt Institute with a major in Painting and a minor in Art History.

Such a positive, joyful, and artistic work environment allows me the energy and personal motivation to paint, draw, and craft in my spare time. Currently I am working on an ongoing illustration project, occasional comissioned pet portraits and making seed bead earrings.

FIONA RIDOUT

I'm 24 years old and have been working for the Tinsmans for quite some time now. Working for Sherry has helped me stay in tact with my artistic abilities and learning the skills of the trade has been one fun adventure, every step of the way! I'm truly honored to work for Sherry and Dan and look forward to being part of the Tinsman crew for many years to come!

CHRISTINA WARD

I love my job! Sherry, Dan, Kaya, Fiona, Kelsey, and Lauren are such amazing people and are a pleasure to work with. I play banjo and sing in a band called the Great Afternoon, and I have a beautiful and artistic 13 year old daughter. My daughter and my music are my passions.

STUDIO DOGS

POPOVA (Po for short) Po is the most experienced cockapoo of all the studio pups. He's the first up the stairs in the morning and the last to leave in the afternoon. Nothing beats a car ride so he's happy to help with keeping Dan company to the post office, bank, etc.

CRICKET is a crazy silly rescue poodle. Nobody gives better hugs than Crickety. He's the clown of the studio and would do ANYTHING for you if you'll just throw the ball one... more... time....

ROTHKO BEANS is Kaya's puppy and comes to work with her every day. He is happy to let Po and Cricket teach him the ropes of the studio- Uncle Cricket and Beans run around for hours and Uncle Po teaches Beans how to chew sticks properly. Rothko Beans loves everyone, and everyone loves Rothko Beans (at least according to him).

I have been a jeweler for 22 years and work out of my beautiful studio in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  Living along the Delaware River has been extremely inspirational to me because it allows me to interact with nature and enjoy its beauty, my main inspiration.  This area also reminds me of England, which is where I was born. My heritage also inspires me and living here energizes me and allows my passion to flow freely, to design and create the distinctive spirals and flowers that characterize my work.

All of my jewelry is 100% handmade in my studio. I am able to keep my business successful because of all the help I have from my husband, Danny, and the women in the studio.

I personally design all of my jewelry and then Fiona, Kaya, Kelsey, and Christina help me to produce the pieces for the orders. I am involved with the entire process of each piece from its start to its finish where I examine, and if need be, select and set all the stones.

I seldom draw my ideas on paper. Instead, I draw with my torch. In doing so, I give myself the freedom to take the silver beyond its limits and see what happens. I have an idea in my head and sometimes it takes a year or more to come to fruition because I like to experiment along the way. 

My business could never be possible without the assist of my multi-talented business partner husband and the skilled help from the wonderful group of talented women artists I have working for me.
