I create unique hand-made pieces of jewelry that are ready for the beach.  As a Florida-based artist, scuba-diver, treasure-hunter and jewelry-designer, I've created jewelry that endures an active life-style that includes plenty of salt water.  My bone carving references traditional tribal fishhook patterns of the South Pacific, whales, sharks, sea horses and sea creatures both real and imagined.   All my materials are selected for the beach and the sea. I also create free-form cabochon pieces and sell rough stone.

Shell Carving

James Monaco

Opalized abalone makes for stunning jewelry.

Created by Beach Cut Jim

I carve things other than repurposed beef bone. Shell is one of my more challenging materials. I love abalone because of the natural rainbows of light in the pearly opalized surface. They are just beautiful.

Just a warning. Carving shell creates a sharp, caustic, dangerous sort-of dust, so you don’t do this without the proper equipment including a respiratory mask.

My more customary carvings are made from repurposed beef bone. But I also create pieces out of shed deer antler, shell and have been adding some resin inlay to a few pieces.
