Warm tones, timeless beauty with these earrings handmade by Paul Moore ✨

Creative from a young age, Paul apprenticed with a woodworker making wooden crafts in high school. While he still loves woodworking, a treasure trove of beach glass collected by his wife, turned his interest to wire wrapping. This led to some introduction to jewellery classes at the Centre. Paul’s interest in other forms of jewelry expanded. He now works with copper, silver and most recently titanium. Paul is a juried member of the Metal Arts Guild of Nova Scotia. Paul’s work is constantly evolving and his love of the craft is evident in his work. ❤️
