Among his notable works is a seal ring that showcases Shearwood's talent for combining artistry with functionality. This striking piece not only adds flair to any ensemble but also serves as a symbol of power and prestige. For those seeking something truly unique, it offers brooches and bracelets featuring portraits that capture the essence of their wearers. These personalized treasures are reminiscent of an era when sentimental keepsakes were cherished above all else. Shearwood's hair brooches and earrings are another testament to his ingenuity. By incorporating strands of hair into his designs, he creates intimate mementos that evoke emotions and memories like no other jewelry can. In addition to his breathtaking accessories, it also ventured into other artistic realms such as quilting. His quilt from 1936 showcases his versatility as an artist while maintaining the same level of intricacy seen in his jewelry designs. Even everyday objects were transformed into works of art by Shearwood's skilled hands. A silver spoon becomes more than just a utensil; it becomes an heirloom passed down through generations—a tangible reminder of love and tradition. Mourning pendants hold special significance in history, serving as poignant reminders for loved ones lost. With delicately crafted details, these pendants pay homage to those who have left this world but remain forever etched in our hearts.
