Jan Loco began making jewelry in 1988. She developed a method of making jewelry without the use of hand tools. After cutting the silver to the desired shape (with heavy-duty poultry scissors or something similar), she hammers it with a specially selected rock until she achieves the texture she desires. This is a laborious task, but she feels it honors her ancestry to use items of nature rather than power tools.

This silver cross may be worn as a pendant or a pin and is a good example of her work. The silver has been hammered to a beautiful texture. Inscribed on the reverse is Spirit of the Rock. Primitive Hand formed. J. Loco. This pin/pendant is a nice complement to the Loco earrings #C2276O (click here to view details) and Loco bracelet #C2276Q (click here to view details).
