Since 2018

Ravena Metalworks has been my studio practice since 2018, where I create both sculptural and wearable works that explore organic form, texture, and presence through metal.

My jewelry is handcrafted with Argentium® Silver, a modern evolution of traditional sterling silver, offering a brighter, hypoallergenic, eco-friendly, and tarnish resistant alloy for both makers and collectors.

Handcrafted

I use traditional and historical metalsmithing techniques, including shell forming, fabrication, and Opus Interrasile, an ancient openwork method that explores negative space. Through these processes, I translate natural forms into dimensional jewelry and sculpture that feel alive. Leaves, bird silhouettes, and organic patterns are abstracted into work that balances strength and delicacy.

My goal is to create pieces that feel like modern artifacts: thoughtfully made, tactile, and enduring. I design my work to be worn, displayed, and passed on, connecting the natural world, material history, and contemporary craftsmanship.

Outside the Studio

Beyond my studio practice, I teach metalsmithing and work professionally in arts marketing and web design for craft organizations and jewelry retailers.


I am a proud member of the Piedmont Craftsmen Guild, Argentium Silver Guild, and a Registered Argentium Metalsmith (Trademark Number AS2408), reflecting my commitment to excellence in fine craft and material integrity.

“It’s this poetic connection between the fleeting beauty of nature and metal’s endurance that defines her work… Her jewellery doesn’t just decorate, it remembers.”—Argentium Silver Guild, Elizabeth Hunt, October 2025 Newsletter Feature
