Hello cosmic wanderers!
I’m Andrea, the hands behind the pieces you’ll find here. I’m a self-taught silversmith working out of a woodland studio tucked in the pines of New Jersey. Yes! Jersey Devil country! The kind of place where fog rolls in like a whisper and the owls sound like they’re laughing at me (probably because they are). It’s peaceful, a little eerie, and totally perfect.
I slow-craft every piece here from scratch. That means fire, hammers, files, and a healthy dose of coffee. Each jewelry piece is made in small batches, usually just once, maybe twice if the stars align. I don’t often repeat designs because I spend just as much time on other creative projects. I like to keep a variety of projects going or I would probably go insane.
The shop you see is just the surface. Beneath it runs an undercurrent of myth, science, esoterica, and nature. I’m wildly inspired by the untold like those half-remembered stories of lost civilizations, forbidden manuscripts, cosmic lore, and archaeological what-ifs. My favorite podcasts are usually murmuring in the background while I solder or sand, spinning tales of deep time and deeper oceans. If you hear the words “esoteric,” “haunting, “myths” or “forgotten history and science,” just know I’m probably leaning all the way in.

The Brand in a Nutshell
This studio is a space where artifact meets artistry. I like to think of my jewelry as little museum pieces from alternate timelines, or from those bohemian science fiction movies from the fifties or sixties.. I only use sterling silver in my pieces but I also like to use something I like to call Radiant Bronze, my signature alloy which is technically known as commercial bronze (C220). Commercial bronze has a high-copper brass alloy made of 90% copper and 10% zinc. So while it has the glow, durability, and historical feel of traditional bronze, it’s not a “true” bronze by metallurgical standards. True bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. I love to use commercial bronze for its golden warmth and timeless feel not to mention looking beautiful on every skin tone.
Current Collection: 2,000 Leagues + Atlantis
Right now, the collection I’m working on is called Aquitanica. Picture ancient sonar scripts carved into coral or medallions pulled from the tide humming with secrets. Mermaid engineers and tidal oracles who wore bronze armor studded with Larimar to tune into oceanic frequencies. This world is the highest of human consciousness gifted with the ability to travel between dimensions.
These aren’t just accessories. They’re meant to feel like artifacts from a place we only almost remember.
Check out a sneak peek of my “Eye of Atlantis” necklace, the work in process and final fitting before setting the eye.
Thanks for reading and hanging out in my little corner of the weird and wonderful. Check out highly recommended podcasts and Youtube channels to listen to while working.
