About Hennessey Jewelry

I make jewelry and accessories with themes about which I am passionate, such as my love for the ocean, the night sky, gardening, and anything else that touches my spirit.

Hopefully you will find something here that resonates with you.

Do you love the Ocean?

    • Do you enjoy spending time at or on the ocean?
    • Are you moved by the spotting of sea life?

    I create ocean themed collections.







     

    Do you love Flowers and Wildlife? 

    • Do you find joy in planning and planting a garden?
    • Are you moved when you spot a family of deer or see butterflies and bees feasting on flowers?

      I design nature inspired pieces.

       

      Do you love the Night Sky?

      • Are you captivated by the sky when you look up on a pitch balck night?
      • Are you fascinated by images from space telescopes?

      I craft celestial inspired designs.

       

      Do you love Texture and Color?

      • Do you love the look and feel of textures?
      • Are you intrigued by the shapes and designs found in stones? 

      I incorporate texture and unusual stones into my work.

       

      How it started and how it's going:

      • While living in the SF Bay Area I wandered in to a jewelry making class at a community college and fell in love with the craft, beginning a 10 year educational journey.
      • I started yearning for a change of scenery, and missed the dramatic changes of the seasons. Yes, even the snow. With map in hand, I decided that Portland, Maine offers everything that I'm looking for. I head east, find a house, a minor league baseball team that I love (go Sea Dogs!), and an ocean just a few minutes away.

      I'm Michele Hennessey, owner of Hennessey Jewelry. I do everything - from sourcing raw materials to design and making to shipping finished pieces. 

      I give to causes that are important to me, including those that support the rights of women and the LGBTQ community.

      I create cuff bracelets, pendants, earrings, hair forks, brooches, and the occasional ring for jewelry lovers.

      I create keychains, money clips, and trinket dishes for everyone.

      I use sterling silver, fine silver, copper, and bronze.
