Founder of Fishbone Designs, Chris Higgins designs and creates all the pieces in this collection. Each one-of-a-kind item is fabricated using sterling silver, brass, copper, and gold. Unique stones and gemstones from around the world are highlighted by the textures of the metals. Fishbone Designs reflects my mixed Japanese and Cherokee heritage with a balance of colors and shapes to create simple yet striking jewelry. I enjoy working with sterling silver because it has an energy that changes with the design through textures and colors. The stones I use are precious and semi-precious gems and polished natural stones from wonderful lapidaries around the world.
I embrace the aesthetic values of "Wabi-sabi", beauty in imperfection. "Wabi now connotes rustic simplicity, freshness or quietness, and can be applied to both natural and human-made objects, or understated elegance. It can also refer to quirks and anomalies arising from the process of construction, which add uniqueness and elegance to the object. Sabi is beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of the object and its impermanence are evidenced in its patina and wear, or in any visible repairs.
I sell both wholesale and retail through fine galleries and gift shops.
My studio is now located at 1003 Bennet Lane Suite N, Carolina Beach, NC where you can come visit and watch my designs come to life.
