Megon Workman Megs Broken Wings Jewelry Jewelry When I began MBW Jewelry in 2008, I found it to be more of a creative outlet than a business. With a fascination with wings and pretty things, ideas were endless! I found making jewelry to be therapeutic and calming, so spending my free time creating things to wear or share made for a pretty good day. In time I’ve really gotten a feel for the fashion industry, and I’ve spent much effort keeping things on-trend and introducing new and fresh ideas. “The idea behind my work is simply, inspiration.” What is your favorite part in the process of designing products? With using a wide variety of gemstones, I enjoy most finding and pairing stones not customary to the traditional turquoise and silver. I also enjoy developing unique relationships with my customers as we work together to bring their imagination to life. What are your favorite design/product trends? I absolutely adore all things organic and natural, so working with gemstones has been the most fun part of my work thus far. I love green and tan palettes, with the occasional blue to capture my love of the ocean. What goals do you have in store for the future of your business? As I progress in metalsmith techniques, I plan to convert the majority of my work to rings, pendants, bracelets and earrings with these methods. I also plan to expand my promotions to find interested boutiques across the country during travels. I’m currently trademarking my in-process logo ‘MBW’. It’s going to be a great year! MegsBr
