Anne Scotti of Anne Made Jewelry donated this matching bracelet and earrings. They’re made with a mix of sand from Block Island, Newport, Narragansett, and Watch Hill.

A Jack-of-all-trades, Anne has always had an interest in art and craft.  As a child she began making wire jewelry in the form of clip-on earrings made from telephone wire. Her great aunt was a rock hound who helped Anne polish stones to wrap in wire, and in her teen years she added beading and polymer clay to her interests.  She took a break from jewelry making in college, choosing to study Biology because of her love of the outdoors and the human body (and she thought it would be more employable than an art degree).  In 2004 she decided to follow her creative interests and launched Anne Made Jewelry.  She is a member of arts in RI.
