Lori Michelle

I am an artist

whose work is centered

around a love of form

and thoughtful design.

 

I spent 15+ years in the architecture industry

before deciding to pursue my dream job:

designing jewelry.

♥︎ ♥︎ ♥︎ 

I began using CAD and a 3D-printer to create tiny sculptures (jewelry) with the intimate proportions of the human figure in mind. This change from producing digital imagery early in my work to producing a wearable piece of jewelry was a feeling of true fulfillment for me. 

I draw inspiration from my worldwide travels, city-living, found objects, shapes in nature, and playful geometry. I've been trusted to create more than 250 custom-designed pieces of jewelry for private customers, and I can often be found participating in local markets + events. 

I will always call Washington, DC (where I lived and worked for 17 years) the home of my heart. I briefly relocated my jewelry studio to California in 2023, and to London in the summer of 2024, where I now reside with my family and my Boston Terrier, Ferdinand.

Through jewelry,

I like to explore the line between

the soft side of our bodies

and the precise edges of designs in metal.

 

Thank you for visiting my work.
