Jean Newlin (6.01.1944 - ) Marysville, KS. Jean, a trained jeweler, makes the most incredible sterling silver and gold jewelry. Some pieces include stones while others are simply elegant and focus on the beauty of the medal. Hand forged, no two pieces are alike—one can truly buy a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry.  "My construction methods include hammering and soldering the metal in order to achieve the focal point and flow of the design in silver or gold. Some stones are used to enhance the artistry."
