Heirloom Transformation
FROM MY HANDS TO YOURS
From hand designed sketches to fabrication directly in the precious metal, every facet of jewelry created behind my studio doors is crafted entirely by my two hands. I do not cast for the porosity it commonly creates in the metal, and the energy required to run the kiln all night. I was formally trained and graduated in 2003 at the University of Washington with a BFA in Metals and Jewelry fabrication so I employ my education and long time in-field experience in every single piece of custom jewelry I create.
SUSTAINABLY SOURCED
Every aspect of Michelle Lenáe Jewelry is carefully sourced using SCS Certified Recycled precious metal, Fairmined gold and in-house reclaimed precious metals from your old jewelry. Every gemstone I’ve collected over 23 years has a known story and direct link to mine and collectors and lapidary artisans. Every single piece of jewelry is handcrafted the slow and traditional way in my Seattle studio in the historic InScape Arts and Cultural building.
JEWELRY CREATED FOR YOU
I create jewelry made for you and/or the one you love. I create jewelry that tells your story, commemorates your triumphs and most memorable moments, and honors your marriage and family. Jewelry is not just body adornment in my world, it is wearable art containing history and tradition. Jewelry is an expression of you, your mood-your vibe-your energy. Quiet or loud, organic or structured, big or small, I’m here for all of you.
