Benson's Workshop

We went over to Benson's workshop yesterday where all of our bone jewelry is made.


We interviewed Benson (above on the left) about his business, and we will share it with you so you can get to know him too! Look at Brady up there behind the camera.


All of the jewelry starts out like these bones shown above. You'd never guess something so pretty once looked like this.


Here are some of Benson's employees working on shaving down the bone into earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. It's awesome that Benson's business has grown enough that he can provide jobs for locals.


This is what the bones turn into. The work that these guys do is pretty amazing.


Rebecca modeled one of the first pieces that we've designed with Benson. The heart pendant necklace will be debuting soon and you'll only be able to find it at Red Earth! We are very excited.

We had a great day hanging out with Benson and his crew. We did some more designing and placed a big order that will be available on the store soon.

We're having a blast here! Have a great weekend!
