Alternative jewelry with heart, memory, and just a touch of drama.
I'm Courtney, a multidisciplinary artist based in Richmond, Virginia, though I originally grew up in the forests and suburbs of Northern Virginia. My love for crafting started early, weaving scarves and hats on a plastic loom in elementary school. By high school, I was selling knitted goods and experimenting with soaps, candles, and jewelry.
Over the years, I refined my passions into what I truly love: jewelry, candles, and spiderweb art. My fascination with metalsmithing led me to take a leap of faith and enroll in a silversmithing class in D.C. around in the summer of 2021. By completing this class, it gave me the control and creative freedom I craved to create sterling silver jewelry. Occasionally I like to blend in stainless steel pieces as well.
My work is deeply inspired by the subtle magic of nature and the ebb and flow of life and death. I find beauty in transformation, like taking something simple as a spiderweb, a bone, or a bloom, and turning into something that is symbolic and will last a life time. My aesthetic leans into romantic gothic, mourning, vintage styles, and metaphysical themes.
Sustainability is a key part of my process. I believe in using what the earth already offers: natural, reclaimed, and thoughtfully sourced materials. Each item is made with intention that is meant to last a lifetime. Each piece holds meaning for the one who wears or displays it. Above all, I want those who support my work to feel connected to what they receive, whether it's a piece of jewelry, a memorial piece, candles, or framed work of nature. I hope every creation exceeds your expectations and becomes something you treasure forever.
