Alice Seely of New Mexico is a versatile artist and botanist. A painter turned jeweler, she casts her designs in lead-free pewter, assembled into pins, bracelets, earrings and pendants. Pewter is lovely for its satiny surface, lighter weight relative to size, and non-tarnishing. Her jewelery is marketed under her name, as well as the recognized brand Urban Fetishes. Alice and her husband David also run an iris farm, famous for the color flowers and warm hospitality.
