For as long as I can remember, I have had a really creative imagination. Throughout all of my life, I have created complex scenarios of epic voyages through space and time, fantastic quests in ancient mythological realms, and journeys to far off lands that few have been before. I guess you could say I am a bit of a nerd. But through all of this, the only way I have been able to share these experiences with others is through my art. My art is not stories or telling of these adventures; they are artifacts, symbols, and pictures of these fantastic places and times made real. The piece you see before you is a Fibula, an ancient Celtic pin used to hold a cloak or kilt closed in battle, at home, or just doing daily chores.

My name is Jasmine Wilson, I’m a senior at Robert Service High school. I have taken every art class that is available at my school since my sophomore year at Service. While also taking art classes and doing art outside of school. I created this ring for my little brother. It is made out of pewter with an additional piece (a stone that appears to be a Pyroxene mineral) that I handpicked from black diamond hill on St. Paul Island (St. Paul is one of four volcanic islands located in the bearing sea.) This ring is special because of the stone, the stone is from St. Paul Island, it’s unique in its own way. It’s not the kind of stone that you can find when walking around when in Anchorage. It is also special because I do not get to go to St. Paul very often so I was very lucky to have been able to go then to make a ring with a piece with it.

The chain on the bracelet is inspired from a pendent I saw in Scotland, I thought it looked elegant. The clasp on the bracelet is of my own design. The ball on the end is designed to fit into the wire on the underside of the ovule on the other end of the chain.
