Gritty Jewelry

Our Story

I started making jewelry (seriously) 8 years ago.

I love transforming raw materials into new, interesting things. I also incorporate old and broken scraps into some of my small batch designs. Running through the process of drawing to cutting, bending, sawing to finished product; this always pushes serotonin through my brain. It’s a great feeling.

Seattle thrives on a gritty core that often gets overlooked. I love the beers, beards and bikes. Surprises hide behind almost every loose brick. It’s a fun area. The people here are way more upbeat and colorful than the rest of the country gives us credit. It’s full of beauty, despair, and mountains. What’s not to love?

The constant debris of life inspires me. Oh, and serial killers. They’re pretty fascinating… from afar, of course.

Find me here, at grittyjewelry.com, my etsy shop, or at the various fairs, festivals, and craft shows where I often have a booth. I also sell my jewelry out of several stores around the Pacific Northwest. Right now Twilight Gallery & Boutique in West Seattle has the largest "Gritty" collection, but Monster Art and Clothing, Georgetown Trailer Park Mall, and Retrofit Homes also have my jewels that happen to be waiting for new homes! Portland folks can find Gritty at Memento.
