Back in the late 60s and early 70s, I was a hippie jewelry maker with a funky little shop in Nyack, New York.
I made some pretty nice pieces, but like most hippies, never made much money at it.

Unfortunately, I photographed very little of my work at the time.
(The quality of some of these photos is mediocre because they
were scanned from old photos that weren't very good to begin with.)

I still make jewelry now and then, but only as gifts for friends.
