Deborah Bushinski

Deborah Bushinski began Tessoro Jewelry in 1998 to create art jewelry for the every day, every woman. Her designs are all about texture, color and composition. Using green methods and materials to create her jewelry, each piece is truly a one-of-a-kind work of art. She creates the jewelry using salvaged birch bark from standing dead trees marked for cutting in the Duluth, Minnesota area. Each piece of bark is selected for interesting surface features. Back in the Tessoro Studios in Minnetonka, Minnesota, the bark is carefully cleaned and stacked under weight to "cure" for 4 to 6 months before being used. Finally the bark is coated with an acrylic polymer which seals the wood, enhances the color and bolsters the natural durability of the bark. The copper used in Tessoro's designs has actually been reclaimed from scrapped car radiators, continuing the green practices. The Tessoro Jewelry line offers a wonderfully unique and natural look that fits well with any style.
