This was a custom piece for a friend who was recently killed while driving by someone who was trying to flee from the police. Harry was 18 years old and we gave this piece to his dad which he wears everday. This is a combo bezel set and wire wrapped piece. The piece has a piece of the mirror from Harry's car, a piece of the windshield, and a piece of red plastic. This piece is sterling.

Kismet, established June 2006, operates as an artist-owned gallery and studio space. Showcased in Kismet’s 3,000-square-foot gallery is the work of over 125 regional artists and artisans, including fine art, photography, prints, jewelry, ceramics, glass art, sculpture, fiber arts, and other unique handmade curiosities. On the last Friday of the month, we have an opening and reception in conjunction with the Troy Night Out Art Walk.
Kismet Gallery is a new breed of bottom-up retail enterprises where we pride ourselves on doing things differently. Unlike other retailers, we never sell anything made in a sweatshop—just one-of-a-kind handcrafted items which are sustainable and manufactured by our family, friends, and neighbors in our community. At Kismet, we stand for principles over profit; idealism over hype; values over image; and mutual aid over competition. Unlike retailers at the mall, for every dollar spent here at least 70 cents goes back into our community to pay our artists; the rest goes to keep the gallery open.
As owners, we see ourselves primarily as activists fighting back against the corporate takeover running roughshod over our communities. We view the corporate flagpoles dominating our streets and the city outskirts as being representative of conquest, not community. Our once-bustling down towns have been left derelict, once-plentiful resources have been pillaged, and once promised jobs have been axed in favor of sweatshop labor. The time is now to kick the corporations to the curb and to reclaim our communities.
