History

Emily Carey Ferris and Charlotte Carey work together at Firesong Silverworks creating jewelry in the family tradition.

The jewelry studio started as Eden Northwest Hand Arts, which was created by Trey (John Carey III) and Charlotte Carey. Trey worked with his father John Carey training to make the simple yet elegant Eden line of jewelry known as “screwball”.

The name comes from the threaded ball clasp, which allows a smooth and invisible fastening. Although the screwball design is simple and elegant, its production requires painstaking craftsmanship. Trey worked as a skilled craftsperson in the family tradition supplying
Eden Hand Arts on Cape Cod from British Columbia, while raising and teaching his children his values and skills.

Of primary importance among those values is the Carey family commitment to quality.

Trey passed away in 2002. Trey's daughter Emily Carey Ferris continues to work with Charlotte Carey making and selling the traditional family jewelry on this website.

Trey's life was one of caring - for his family, his community and his craft. His standard of excellence is still mirrored in all aspects of the family business, from customer service to the warm and caring culture in the work shop at Firesong Silverworks and ultimately, to each piece of jewelry created for your enjoyment.

Each piece of jewelry is hand crafted so no two pieces are exactly alike. Our jewelry is made from sterling silver and 14kt. Gold.
