Tiffany Zal likes to be broad about what she does. But put
simply, she’s a maker, and a seller, and sometimes when lucky can combine the
two. As an artist, creating jewelry becomes the best of both worlds; art that
is practical, wearable, personal, and ultimately art that you live in.
Her line of bike part jewelry is unique in that it embodies
something else besides just aesthetic. These pieces are created with re-used
bike parts and hardware, giving new life, and a new purpose to old things that
might otherwise be wasted. Foraged from Free Cycles, and Home Resource, among
other places, this jewelry can be worn with pride. It lends itself to Tiffany’s
aesthetic by being rustic, earthy, and a little wabi sabi.
