Small Change Finery

Small Change Finery

Small Change Finery was inspired by raw music. The unpolished clinking and clanging that finds itself edited. The grit and grain that gets photoshopped out. The part you throw away. That's what we’re made of. 

Embellished antique cutlery with past lives. Retired brass instruments who've played for strangers. Handles who've touched too many fingerprints to count. Spent bullet casings, vintage furs, and old bones with strange stories to tell. 

After the cutting, grinding, drilling, brushing and buffing, they are given new life in our jewelry.

We are bold. We are beautiful. We are unique. We are rich with history and not for the coy. 

We are Small Change.
