One look at Angela Mosera’s intricate creations and you’ll see why we found her worthy of the spotlight.

A trademark of Mosera’s is her use of reclaimed wood and old watch parts to create masterpiece mosaic purses and trinket boxes. She puts the same high level of craftsmanship and detail into each piece as the individual who originally crafted the timepieces. A close look at each piece confirms a slow, steady, precise hand. A step back reveals a modern and appealing design.

She adds the same level of detail and style to each piece of jewelry she creates.
