From a quiet storefront on a normally laid back strip of 17th Street in downtown Oakland came the repeated crack of a hammer, suggesting some type of construction work underway. But a peek inside the shop instead revealed the construction crew was a tall woman with a blustery head of dark hair and a searing red full-length blouse, unapologetically hammering at a small piece of golden wire, twisting it into a perfect hoop for an earring.
The shop is the new home base for Candice Cox and her business, Candid Art, where she thinks up and executes a multitude of artistic visions centered around her DIY jewelry.
