Handmade Jewelry for Everyone

March 6, 2019 By Eric Lofdahl

I’m not somebody who wears a lot of jewelry. In fact, I own exactly two pieces of jewelry: a watch and a money clip. I have both with me almost daily. Each has its practical purpose, but they also simply look nice, and that is why I like them.

 

Here at the Clay Coyote, we have a wide selection of handmade jewelry. Right in the center of the gallery are four display cases and a table filled with jewelry from artists across the country. In fact, the money clip I carry came as a gift from the Clay Coyote. The best part about jewelry is that it is art you can bring with you. You can make a statement, show your own personal style and appreciation for handmade art, and support the artists who make it just by wearing it.

March 13 is National Jewel Day. A day to buy new jewelry for yourself or others, wear what you already have, and recognize jewelers. It’s a great day to get a new piece of handmade jewelry if you have been thinking about spicing up your wardrobe, or surprise a special someone with a gift.

 

Some of the great options here include triple wrap bracelets by Desert Heart out of Alpine, Texas, key necklaces from Alchemy in Brooklyn, NY, or maybe a new jewelry box from Mikutowski Woodworking in Menominee, MI.

The jewelry is always for sale in the gallery and many styles are on our online shop, but for the best deal and largest selection stop in before March 9. That is the last day of our extended dot sale, and all the jewelry is 25%, 35%, or 50% off! We’ll even gift wrap the piece for you if it’s for that special someone. Just be sure to hide it well so it isn’t found before the 13th.

Mikutowski Woodworking

February 2, 2013 By Ann

When it comes to the wood art pieces that we carry at Clay Coyote, Mikutowski ‘s wonderful boxes are the cornerstone of our wood collection.  Founded in 1986 by Mike Mikutowski and his wife Liz, Mikutowski Woodworking is the definition of “small but mighty.” Many are shocked to learn that the fine woodworking shop, located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and specializing in high-quality jewelry boxes, employs only about five people to take raw lumber through the largely hands-on assembly process. Another four employees bring the finished product through the invoicing, packing, and shipping stages; these individuals are also responsible for cultivating and maintaining customer relationships. Despite the small workforce, Mikutowski Woodworking manages to produce close to 40 different products and sells to high-end galleries from coast to coast.

It’s fitting that the line carries the Mikutowski name. Simply put, Mike is the business. He designs the pieces, builds the jigs, and when necessary, creates custom equipment, all in the pursuit of a superior product. The fact that Mike’s woodworking techniques may be described as “old-school” only adds to the character of the line. Aside from the laser engraving machine, no computerized equipment is utilized. In fact, most of the equipment Mike has in the shop dates to the 1940s, when heavy, precise industrial equipment was still manufactured in this country. Each Mikutowski piece is certainly deserving of its “hand-made” designation.
