Sue Pak
Jewelry
PakHye Goods creates handmade landscape jewelry inspired by the Pacific Northwest, including Mt. Hood, Multnomah Falls, Crater Lake, Haystack Rock, Three Sisters, Mt. Saint Helens, and the Columbia River Gorge. The collection includes double-sided necklaces, earrings, leather bracelets, cuff bracelets, rings, and guitar picks. The pieces are all cut by hand, hand-painted with a special resist, and dipped into an acid bath. They are filed, sanded smooth, and clear-coated to preserve the finish.
