eat tle jewelry designer Meghann Sommer is a storyteller. But instead of words, she uses stones. “My favorite materials are definitely stones,” Sommer says. “They have a lot of resonant energies. They’re always the most complex and unusual.” Her line &c., (pronounced “etcetera”), features not only stones but found and salvaged materials including feathers, horns, and metals. She looks to the past for her inspiration, researching the history of jewelry and talisman. With influences like Egyptian culture and her Choctaw heritage, Sommer’s pieces weave together elements and culture for truly one-of-a-kind wares.
