meet: Madeline Burdine.  
Creator of
Madeline Burdine Jewelry

           

 
   
   I started out wanting to be a gemcutter, to transform the rough beauty of mother nature into faceted, sparkling jewels. An unusual ambition for a 12- year old.

Always, I have been enamored with the gifts of the earth. Cowskull, insect wing, robin's egg, sand dollar.   I knew a had the artist's soul for a long, frustrated time. Ultimately, thanks to some guidance from good ol' mom, I found my voice in jewelry design.

Materials inspire me: turquoise, bone, copper.
Themes inspire me: freedom, flight, individuality, the beauty of imperfection in nature.
You inspire me: Beautiful, individual, real.
