Best Stunning Adornments

Shalena Designs

Have you ever had a ring that seemed to grow right out of your finger or a necklace that was suddenly in bloom? Have you ever yearned for a copper-and-silver boa to adorn your neck? Owner Shalena White loves her craft and puts her fine arts degree (metalsmithing and jewelry-making) from Texas State University to work forging, fabricating, and wire-wrapping a collection of simply stunning adornments. The otherworldly yet plucked-from-nature inspiration behind every gemstone, every wisp of molten metal, every piece of art created by White is an ode to life in action.
