ABOUT RUST Jewelry by TRACY KLAS

As a traveling musician and singer-songwriter, I was always wandering — through antique stores, along railroad tracks, at estate sales — gathering small forgotten things that felt like they still had a pulse. I started making jewelry for myself to wear on stage. One night someone asked if it was for sale, and everything shifted.

What I create now is deeply personal.

Each piece is a kind of meditation for me. I sit with the materials and wonder where they’ve been, who may have worn them, what stories they’ve carried. I don’t rush the process. I move things around slowly until they feel right — until the old and the new are in conversation with each other.

I believe in honoring what was before giving it a new life.

Over 500 one-of-a-kind pieces have left my hands over the years. Each one made intentionally. Each one meant for someone specific.

RUST is not mass produced. It’s gathered, considered, and reborn.

“If one speaks to you, it may already be yours.”
