Metal Clay Tag Jewelry Made Your Way

By Steph Moore

Neida Joseph-Abel, master jewelry designer and founder of HipFusion Designs, hand cuts and stamps every letter and number on moldable metal clay that fuses in a kiln into solid metal tags. She uses the unique medium to create an extensive collection of imperfectly-perfect, endearing personalized designs.

The idea behind the collection has always been a clear for Neida: she personally handcrafts every piece of jewelry. And she’s widely known for her originality by incorporating the tags with cool elements. “Instead of just hanging tags on chains, I think outside the box and take risks when I create my designs. I love giving each piece a unique vibe by using layers, contrasting textures, moveable parts and asymmetry,” says Neida. “I find that when I’m creating, I’m living life to the fullest. It’s part of my everyday consciousness: designing and creating wearable art for my customers that expresses the results of my work in a loving and beautiful way and keeps them coming back for more.”
