Each Aviary piece of jewelry begins its life like a mini sculpture, hand molded in wax before being cast by founder and designer Kelly Dent. Starting in 2007, Kelly began her line around the graceful shapes of birds, feathers and other interpretations of freedom and movement. Now the Aviary line has expanded its scope to bring her lyrical interpretations to other natural items, each of which are cast in precious metals that give the sinuous designs a bold weight and depth. Born and raised in California’s Bay Area, Kelly now lives and works in Los Angeles.
