Artisan jewelry fashioned for everyday wear and enjoyment designed to reflect the beauty of self expression.

by Lauren Nall

Lauren is a creative metalsmith with over 20 years of experience in the studio. She distributes her work through commissioned projects, local retailers, and participates in regional juried art shows. In addition to being a producing artist, she is also a faculty member at the Craft Alliance center of creative arts.

All of the design work, forming, and fabrication is fashioned entirely by hand beginning with sheet metal and wire; often accompanied by semiprecious gemstones and found objects. Natural organisms and plant structures are her primary source of inspiration. Surface embellishments, patterns, folds, and volumetric forms inspired by leaves, petals, flowers, and insects are figurative elements she incorporates into her original collections.
