Urban Alchemist welcomes "Fox & Crow" jewelry design




" I utilize a lot of found material like driftwood, leaves, bird skulls, Gouda wax (I let nothing go to waste), and other non-traditional materials. I have been creating jewelry for quite some time now and I love every moment of it. I don’t have fancy drills or torches; just some sculpting tools and a multipurpose tool “knife-thing” to get the job done. Like in Native American culture, I try to honor the spirit animal as well as the earth in all of my work. "

Introducing Rubella Jewelry at Urban Alchemist.






Rubella is a virus discovered by German doctors in the eighteenth century. Rubella is also the alias of two Jersey City ladies who create, among many things, romantic and mysterious victorian-inspired statement pieces of jewelry featuring civil war era tintype photographs, antique chandelier crystals, old skeleton keys, bones, unique ornate metal findings and other relics which both conjure up and cherish the past.

This began her love affair with semi precious and precious stones. She is self taught and often inspired by making a mistake! Her designs incorporate geometric shapes that are softened and adorned with semi precious stones and metals to add texture. She aims to bridge structure with femininity.

T. Kahres's organic, rockin roll jewelry!






Urban Alchemist proudly represents jeweler T. Kahres who has successfully sold with us since the beginning in 2008.

Teresa Kahres has been designing her line of nature-inspired jewelry from her studio in the heart of D.U.M.B.O., Brooklyn; a stimulating community of burgeoning artists.
Although she also works as a silversmith, her love of the outdoors has steered her towards enameling, a medium that allows for the use of colors in a way that more closely captures the essence of the objects that inspire her.

The torch method enables her to manipulate these colors into fine lusters, and she often embellishes her pieces with her signature use of pearls. While her pieces, often castings of organic matter such as sea urchins, leaves, and shells, have an ethereal quality, they also possess strength and substance.
