You can almost feel that old zephyr blowing off the tall grass, can't you?
Here at Hang 'em High we like to bring that special feeling to our guests, the warm calm of the Southwest. Take a look at our new Highwayman Line. Don't be fooled by the name...every Highwayman has a Lady in his sights. The Highwayman line includes mens chokers, ladies earrings, chokers and bracelets, featuring handwrought silver, buffalo horn and turquoise. Your Hang 'em High jewelry will become seasoned as you wear it, getting a patina that only you can give. Rustic, casual and biker friendly. So go ahead, put it on with your smile and boots. Show the world what you've got!
Enjoy!

Artist Statement:
Cynthia, the creative force and passion behind Hang ‘em High jewelry started the business in 1980, but in reality had been making pieces of jewelry since she was a young child. Her mother was a clothing designer who sold her creations in New York and Boston so Cynthia literally learned at the knees of the master. She loved pulling together elements and colorful bits of assorted materials to form a piece of art. Since that time she has created a cohesive body of work that reflects her love for the “Spirit of the Southwest” and her own American Indian heritage.
Studio One in Boston, Studio Too in Fort Worth.
For 6 years Cynthia traveled to every corner of the United States with the International Gem and Jewelry show, learning the ins-and-outs of the gem and jewelry world. Studying under some of the worlds finest jewelry makers and silversmiths Hang 'em High will soon be making hammered bangles and earrings.
Hang ‘em High jewelry can be seen in shows and fine galleries across the United States in juried shows.
As well as showing at different venues, Hang ‘em High takes great pride in the fact that they participate in numerous charities - The Imus Ranch for Kids with Cancer, Fisher House Boston, The CJ Foundation for SIDS, Tomorrows Children's Fund, the American Cancer Society fight Against Breast Cancer, Walden Street School for Girls, The Anthony Picarello Foundation, Young Life Organization, along with other organizations and churches. It is an essential part of Hang ‘em High’s philosophy to give back.

PHOTOGRAPHY
SOUTHWEST VISIONS
Hang 'em High has gotten back to it's roots, behind the camera lens, with outstanding shots of the Great American Southwest. We seek the solitude of New Mexico and Texas or wherever the road leads. Finding intricate details in simple subjects, we hope you like our choices in "Southwest Visions". My favorite subject is seen above, my Young Longhorn named 'Gus'. Spending as much of the past 4 years to tame and train Gus, we have created a portfolio of portraits, proving that wild beasts can be trained to pose! Some just have "IT"! Our Southwest Visions can be seen in Galleries around the country, and are available in all sizes, from blank card stationary, to posters. Check Shows and Events listing, as well as the Jewelry and Photos galleries for sample works.
Thanks for looking!
Warm winds,
Hang 'em High
