The Goodwins create their beautiful porcelain jewelry at their home in the Ozark Mountains of northwestern Arkansas using the technique known as millefiori (thousand flowers). First, carefully designed loaves of clay are formed from colored porcelains. Next, cross sections are sliced from the loaves. These are formed into individual pieces of jewelry, shaped, sanded and then glazed and fired three separate times. A 22kt gold edging is applied and the piece receives its final firing at 1700°F resulting in a durable, wearable piece of art.

To clean your jewelry, use a soft cotton cloth on the porcelain and gold applique (do not use abrasives such as a jewelers cloth).  A jeweler’s cloth may be used on ear wires, beads and necklace chains.
