Recently, we had a chance to speak with Todd Reed, whose work has been featured on the cover of 500 Earrings. Todd’s work can be seen at ToddReed.com.

Todd, your jewelry is stunning – we can understand why it was chosen for the cover of ’500 Earrings’. Can you tell us how and when you began creating jewelry?

I started making jewelry as a teenager and started to teach myself goldsmithing when I was 18. I started by making Native American style pieces as inspired by my growing up in the southwest.
