When does an idea become a reality? A number of years ago as I was picking up sea shells on a family vacation and paused to wonder what I was doing. I mean, picking up stuff on the beach is the tourist thing to do, but I'm not the kind of guy to leave the shells laying around in decorative dishes. So what else were they for? That night I looked up ideas to turn sea shells into jewelry so that I could make wearable souvenirs for the family. Two years later I was on a beach doing the same with rocks. That's where the idea of turning rocks into jewelry started. As my son and dad joined me, all three of us named Ken, Ken Generations of Jewelry was born. With enthusiastic support from my wife who loves being festooned in handcrafted art I developed my style, gained skill in my craft, and even launched a YouTube channel to help share what I've learned with others. Now, through this shop, an idea has become a reality and I thank you for joining me and my family on this journey and I hope that you feel as blessed with our encounter as I do.
If you like my pieces, I'd love to use YouTube to show you how they're made. If you'd like to be a bit more avant-garde you can even check out my latest tumble video(s) and let me know which stones you'd like wrapped.
