I am trying to find a website for Harriet McNamara jewelry and was wondering if you had her contact information or her website? I am from St. Louis, MO and bought one of her necklaces while in Seattle and would like to purchase more.
Thanks,
Kerry

I’ve owned one of her belt buckles for a couple years now… she made one special via her Etsy store. I love it! Not only is it steampunk/industrial and unique, but it opens beer bottles. Definitely recommend her motorcycle gear work!
*yes I admit it’s fun to make sly faces while sliding the bottle down to my crotch and POP open it with my buckle*
