About Claire

I strive to create one-of-a-kind jewelry, with integrity and quality craftsmanship. Earth’s intricate variations of beauty provide endless inspiration. All of my pieces are made with high grade natural stones-- long lasting reminders of the exquisite planet we live on. I love that by wearing them, we can also reflect our own unique beauty and self-expression.

I taught myself metal-smithing in 2014 and became enthralled with the ancient process of using fire and metal to create unique gifts to give yourself or a loved one. My design style is continually evolving, guided by the day-to-day beauty of the natural world. Lately, I’m drawn to romantic color pairing, finding flattering natural shapes and stone choices that reflect the change in seasons.

I’m conscious of where I source my stones and metals. Creating pieces that don’t harm the planet is important to me. All metals are sourced from responsible suppliers, ensuring that the majority of metals I use are recycled and made in the United States. My stones are carefully selected from ethical miners. I purchase locally and from small businesses as much as I can.

If you have any questions, concerns or suggestions please feel free to contact me!
