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. "

Rebecca Shepherd Jewelry Design

Co-founder Rebecca Shepherd's collection is perfect for an easy gift giving solution. You can choose from a wide variety of mixed metal pieces as well hand picked semi-precious stones. She specializes in brides and brides maids jewelry. Rebecca Shepherd was born and raised in the woods of a small town outside Tampa Fla. She relocated to NYC in 1998 and began to develop and refine her line of jewelry. A few years ago, she stumbled upon a piece of labradorite that reminded her of the bottom of the ocean. 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.
