Jim & Helen Yetman-Bellows of Squirrel-Eze
Married since 1981, and a full time artisan team since 1995, we own Squirrel-Eze & Friends Artisans Boutique in Townsend Massachusetts. We travel the East Coast offering retail and wholesale art craft, corporate and gallery shows, and are featured in many shops, galleries and museums. Our multi award winning jewelry and articles have been published in national and international trade magazines. We specialize in chainmaille and silversmithing, combining simple ancient techniques to create intricate designs. Inspired by nature, our jewelry is bold yet delicate, and makes a statement, not an impact.
Featured Product
Collaboration Collection: Into the Wild
This sterling silver necklace set is part of our collaboration collection, Helen's silversmithing and Jim's chainmaille. Using the oldest forms of metal shaping, Helen combined chasing & repousse, stamping, hand etching, riveting and antiquing to create this 3D nature scene. Done free hand, one line at a time, this wearable art reminds you of where you have been, or where you would like to be.
Jim hand formed, cut, and wove the rings creating this chainmaille necklace set. Once worn by knights for protection, we have redesigned this chainmaille to make elegant jewelry that feels like silk and drapes fabric. King Arthur would be proud to give this to his fair maiden. To wear a piece of our jewelry is to wear a piece of history.
