Tell me that you’re into metal-working and I’ll exhale dismissively and point you in the nearest direction of a craft fair. But the jewelry at West Philly’s Vix Emporium is forever neat—there’s always a stand-out choker or ace pair of danglies to be found.

Vix Emporium’s next showcase features jewelry artist Keith King with his works crafted from wire and sheet metal. King’s “wearable art” collection is made up of edgy one-of-a-kind pieces in copper and brass. His pieces are not pretty or delicate, which is precisely why I like them. Who better to flaunt the sculptured wire earrings than a tough-as-nails city girl?

This Saturday, July 19, from 6-9 p.m., Keith King will be awaiting the arrival of iron-loving maidens at Handwrought, his debut at Vix Emporium. After you’ve admired the metal-working master and your new brass cuff bracelet, stick around for tunes from solo artist Birdie Busch.
