Collection: Marchello Art

My story as an artist began in 2010 as I followed my dad's footsteps. He unwrapped his napkin at a local restaurant in Ann Arbor, MI. This gave him the idea to bend silverware into fork angels, which were the first creation in this concept. His first angels were rough, but he quickly improved the technique. While I was in college, we joined together and started making and selling our art as a father-son team. Together, we refined the process to make smooth bends in flatware. As he aged out of the craft, I took the reigns and continued to refine the process of bending forks. The tools and techniques developed in-house allow me to create smooth, complex bends that turn forks into designs that you won't find anywhere else. I am still refining my craft today to make the best silverware jewelry that I can. I hope you like what you see. Thanks for stopping by!

Creating jewelry from old flatware has ignited a passion that fuels me as an artist. I strive to reveal the damage we are doing to our home by curating an economy prioritizing profits over everything else. We can help prevent further damage by prioritizing production methods and energy sources that are clean and efficient. To this end, everything I make is from authentic vintage silver plated or sterling flatware. I like turning these old forks and spoons into something beautiful to inspire all of us to reconsider our habits. Recycling is a good step, but we need to reuse when possible. My jewelry is all made from vintage flatware, making it reusing and recycling.

I strive to create a brand of purpose to protect the environment. By aiming to help realign the perspective of economic strength to include goals of preserving the environment, we can create an economy that's good for people and our planet. Thanks for helping share in a vision that ties together our efforts to flourish with those aiming to protect the planet we all share and rely on.
