Birch is now offering earrings, necklaces and pins from Tessoro. Tessoro’s natural birchbark jewelry adds simple elegance to any outfit. We feature selections from Tessoro’s Classic, Nordic, Salon and Calder collections in our web store.
Minnesota jewelry designer Deborah Bushinski has been designing and handcrafting her jewelry using the natural beauty of salvaged birchbark since 1998. Her design composition is focused on color, texture and composition.
Tessoro’s commitment to green practices begins with the salvaged birchbark used to produce the jewelry. The bark is cured then cut or torn into the shape needed and coated with an acrylic polymer sealing the wood, enhancing the color as well as bolstering the natural durability of the bark.
Tessoro also uses reclaimed copper from scrapped car radiators. The copper is sanded and cleaned and then artfully used by Deborah to create her jewelry.
The final touches to many designs include the use of semi-precious gemstones as well as freshwater pearls, and simple hematite or sterling beads to add contrast to the bark. Sterling silver and reclaimed copper, hand hammered to create subtle nuances and irregularities, lend structure and boldness to other designs.
We think you will enjoy the unique, naturally elegant styling of our Tessoro jewelry selections.
