Feral Blue Jewelry
Feral Blue is one-of-a-kind sterling silver jewelry and metal accessories hand fabricated by Ash Tamber. It often features semi-precious stones or enamel work, but always tells a story. I enjoy working outside the parameters of jewelry and creating small metal functional objects. In using engraving techniques I add another layer of deliberate line work into my illustrative pieces to showcase my abilities as an artist and storyteller. Like many artists, drawing was my first love. My engraving is done by hand with primitive tools that allow for maximum portability.
In recent years, Feral Blue Jewelry has become more rare. I am currently on a production hiatus. You can still find my work in a few stores around the US, and I may secretly release batches here and there (sign up for my mailing list to get hip to that). These days I am taking on limited customs. Click below for everything you need to know about obtaining something custom.
Feral differs from wild, which is a popular notion. Feral moves by intuition and nature, not by boredom, courage, or rebellion. Though curious, a feral creature is not always inherently brave; they’re pulled by a knowing from their ancestry. Feral creatures were bred to be domesticated, yet display how close they are to their roots.
Blue is a color that is omnipresent. For me, there is a love/hate with Blue, as it's sometimes the thoughtless go-to color of clothes and boring walls. The word itself has many meanings---from the ethers of life's beginnings to the deepest emotions and unknowns. It’s the duality of bland and mysteriousness that creates intrigue. "Blue is beauty, not truth. 'True blue' is a ruse, a rhyme; it's there, then it's not. Blue is a deeply sneaky color." -Christopher Moore
