Christy Robinson is full time studio jewelry artist who lives and works in Dallas, Texas. She worked with contemporary jeweler Will Harjes and has taken jewelry intensives at The Craft Guild of Dallas in casting and etching techniques. She is a 2003 GIA Gemology Diamonds Graduate. Her current body of work, which features jewelry designs that are both one of a kind and those that use earth friendly recycled metals such as aluminum and copper often deal with animal rights or environmental issues. A jeweler since 1993, Christy became an earth and animal advocate in 1996 and enjoys having her work seen as something beautiful and seemingly material but on closer inspection having it be thought provoking with a slight edge of humor. She currently gives a portion of her proceeds to various earth and animal charities, some of her favorites include: Farm Sanctuary, United Poultry Concerns, Release Chimps, Compassion Over Killing, Vegan Outreach, and Sea Shepherd, just to name a few.
