Something Old, Something ’New

Sinew Jewelry by Greg Mathes

The Wedding of (the Future) Mr. and Mrs. Sinew
Officiant: Greg Mathes, Esq.

Welcome, all, to another Sinew family marriage. Today we are gathered to celebrate the joyous union of Deer Bone and Feather.

Before they met, Bone lay listless in a flea market; Feather frolicked at estate sales. When they found each other, they connected immediately: his delicate style, her wispy whimsy. Now they are bound by a strong, trusty chain.

The wedding party includes Tooth, from an antique market, and Locket, who once lay rusting in the street; Button and Gem (bless their souls); Cicada Wing and Silver Pallettes, an unlikely yet smashing pair; and Pendant and Pearl, aged and graceful.

No two Sinew creations are alike.

Yet each one is a jewel.

Available at Habit, 1951 West Division Street, at Damen Avenue (773-342-0093 or habitchicago.com).
