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. "

Beat Up Creations, NEW at Urban Alchemist






Beat Up Creations uses recycled, abused, tossed aside, broken and forgotten items and trun them into fabulous new creations. She claims not to be an artist... but.... (: This is what SHE says: "I strive to be simple. I like small things, dirty art and banjo music. Most of the time I am called Angela. I was born and bred in Los Angeles. My father and my brother are both professional artists. My mother is an expert craftsman. I am not. Having had a broken heart, broken wings, loose marbles and the such I have discovered that I am much better with a glue gun than a paint brush. I just try to be true to the idea's in my head by recycling unloved and forgotten items."

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.

DESiGNERiCA jewelry at Urban Alchemist






Most of my designs are inspired by NATURE, the ENVIRONMENT, and FOOD. I unite seemingly disparate interests in all things HIGH TECH and futuristic with heartfelt environmentalism to create objects that speak of my interest in the future of humankind. Designs are intended to be beautiful while reminding us of our tenuous place in the universe and our relationship with the rich network of life around us. All of my products are produced using modern technologies. These technologies allow for ease of customization and will ultimately allow distributed manufacturing. They include computer aided design (CAD), computer aided routing, laser cutting, and 3-d printing (CAM).
