Handcrafted Jewelry

Earthy Elegance and Timeless

NEW AND EXCITING

Hello! And welcome to The Opal!

Working on some new designs for this year, using a bit more mixed metal in my pieces. I'm excited to see where this season takes me, focusing on simplicity, with  earthy, yet timeless designs

I will be posting my upcoming shows here, once I get my schedule set.

Thank you so much for being here, 

Lori

Meet The Artist

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website, where you'll find handcrafted jewelry made with intention and a tremendous amount of love for this craft. My hope is that the JOY I get from making these pieces is transferred to the people who wear them.

Hello! I'm Lori

I am a true Libra striving for balance, and my jewelry style is no different. With an attraction to beauty in simplicity and a desire for creative expression, I think my pieces take on an earthy, yet classic vibe. I enjoy using different stones, textures, and oxidation (a process to darken) which adds character to the handmade, artisan quality.

 

You will see many of my pieces featuring or marked with the spiral, a sacred symbol that represents soul consciousness, the spiritual journey of life, and evolution. As I am forever grateful to be blessed with the desire to create, faith-based designs are genuinely a part of my work.

My passion for making jewelry fulfills and nurtures my soul, and the fact that it brings JOY to people has been unexpectedly gratifying. I think that part of this journey is to show people that if you have a desire to create, just DO IT! It's never too late, and the rewards are abundant. I'm not only here to share my work, but also to support fellow creators. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, or to connect on our amazing, creative journeys.
