Chrizart Creations
Chrizart Creations is Christine Keller, a jewelry-maker from Buckhannon, West Virginia. She strives to create one-of-a-kind pieces of unique design and color. Christine began expressing herself as a wood-carver in 1995. In 2008, she took up pottery, leading to experiments with jewel-like cabochons of clay and melted glass. Having a lifelong love of jewelry, she began wire wrapping in 2009 as a way to incorporate the cabochons into pendants. She has since expanded the line to include rings, earrings, and bracelets. During the summer of 2012, Chris became a silversmith and has added handforged designs to the Chrizart collection.
