Behind The Pliers

Allison Hertzberg makes jewelry in her East Village (NYC) apartment and dreams of more closet space.  A strong believer that one piece of jewelry can make an outfit, Allison strives to produce under-stated statement pieces.   At the core of the line are the intricate knotting details that Allison learned while doing a documentary on lobster fishermen in Maine.  Working full-time in the fashion industry, Allison has used jewelry making as a creative outlet to channel  the constant inspiration New York City provides her.  Each ASH piece is handmade with love and increasingly poor eyesight.
