Mary Frances Maker x Greystone Needlepoint

Sparked by a mutual love (obsession?) of needlepoint work, Mary Frances Maker and Shannon Zimolong of Greystone Needlepoint are thrilled to share their debut collection of cast needlepoint jewelry pieces! Mary Frances took up needlepoint in 2023 and quickly became fascinated with all the different textures you can achieve with just a needle and thread. As she learned and practiced more stitches (still very novice!), she began daydreaming of how these textures would translate in metal, and sought out Shannon's expertise to bring this vision to life. Shannon and her team meticulously stitched each charm as well as the bangle on an 18-mesh canvas with pepper pot fiber.

Mary Frances took those stitches to her production team for scanning and printing in wax, then casting into metal, and what was created was nothing short of amazing! Somehow, someway, we successfully cast delicate needlepointed designs into solid metal for you to wear and enjoy for generations.

Each MFM x GN piece is cast in solid brass with a 14k yellow gold thick plating. The charms are intentionally sold individually so you can mix and match your stack on one of our hand-selected chains, or add them to chain you may already own. Each piece comes engraved with both logos on the back and is packaged in an ivory velvet pouch, along with a certificate of authenticity signed by both Mary Frances and Shannon.

Whether you are a needlepoint whiz, or you just love the look of a funky-fun textured bangle, we can't wait for you to LOVE your new MFM x GN piece!
