Recycled, Re-purposed and Reclaimed Jewelry
I have known ever since I was a child growing up on the
shores of Lake Superior in Upper Michigan that I would work
with my hands.  The decision was solidified when I took my
first metals class at Northern Michigan University in...well let's
just say it's been a few years.  It has been my passion ever
I find that working in the jewelry arts allows me to think sculpturally,
graphically and painterly. I can also satisfy my desire to make things
with my hands as well as use tools such as files and torches. My
wish is that each finished piece is perfectly made, highly wearable.
Boris Bally’s award-winning work is both witty and innovative
employing the use of jeweler’s skills on non-precious materials.
His current body of work transforms recycled street signs,
weapon parts, and a wide variety of found materials into objects
for reflection. These pieces celebrate raw American street-
aesthetic in the form of objects, often useful, for the home and the
body.
