In the heart of Pittsburgh’s vibrant creative community, I had the privilege of photographing the unique jewelry pieces of Zag Metals, a queer-owned business that beautifully intertwines artistry and identity. Founded by Georgia Ziarnowski, Zag Metals is more than just a jewelry brand; it’s a reflection of personal journeys and the diverse paths that lead us to our true selves. The name “Zag Metals” is a clever play on Georgia’s initials and symbolizes the many changes in direction that have shaped her journey as an artist. Specializing in hand-fabricated sterling silver jewelry, each piece is meticulously crafted in Pittsburgh, PA, showcasing a commitment to quality and individuality.
