Anna Sheffield is making a big bang, literally, with her " Bing Bang" line of fabricated metal jewelry. Fabrication is a termed used to describe the process of taking metals, such as silver and gold, and using hand tools like a hammer, anvil, and hand-saw to form jewelry designs. Sheffiled's background in blacksmithing and sculpture may be one reason her designs are being lauded by the likes of fashion designers such as Marc Jacobs, who recently selected Sheffield's Bing Bang collection to team up with his own spring 2006 clothing collection.

A number of celebrities have also become Bing Bang converts: " Celebrity clients include Kirsten Dunst, Drew Barrymore, [...] Reese Witherspoone, Cameron Diaz and the oddly fascinating Simpson siblings, Jessica and Ashlee."
