White Hint_Image1 - Original design created by metalsmith Elizabeth Stingl

Description: White Hint

For your subtle days this White Hint accessory is the perfect fit! Hairpiece, necklace, ankle bracelet, or leg chain play and explore the possibilities. Sometimes simplicity says it all, with just a slight hint of green on this geometric shape one can add quietness to your ensemble while still standing out. Not everyone’s facets include bold colors, but why not at least add a hint of it in your LIFE. (There are many ways to expand my concept in a White Hint Collection, with varying shapes and hints.)

Creation/Materials: faux enamel patina (that I developed), sterling silver chain, brass (although could be done in sterling silver)
