Love Lori Michelle Jewelry is the work of Lori (middle name Michelle) Steenhoek, a 3D-artist who centers her work around a love of architecture and thoughtful design.
Lori spent her early career creating 3D-renderings and animations, developing a strong design background through architectural visualization.
This led to another pursuit: designing jewelry
Lori began experimenting with creating 3D-models at a much smaller scale and with the human figure and more intimate proportions in mind.
The change from producing a digital image early on in her work, to producing a tangible, wearable piece of jewelry was a feeling of true fulfillment.
Lori is inspired by the geometric forms, shapes, and nature found in everyday life. She has drawn upon inspiration from her worldwide travels, as well as everyday shapes, forms, shadows, landscapes, and objects.
She has created more than 250 custom-designed pieces of jewelry for private customers, and can be found participating in pop-up markets + events.
Lori was born and raised in Maryland, but calls Washington, DC (where she lived and worked for 17 years) the home of her heart. Lori relocated her design studio to California in 2023, and most recently to London in the summer of 2024, where she now resides with her family and her Boston Terrier.
She hopes her pieces explore the line between the soft side of our bodies and the angles and edges of designs in metal and stone.
Her modern, everyday jewelry asks the wearer to explore and celebrate their style and unique identity.
