I'm so excited for my summer in the studio. I have so many beautiful pieces swimming around in my mind and sitting on my bench. To make room for all the new designs I am giving so many pieces their final bow. You can save up to 50% on everything included in the Final Bow Sale!
I have been making jewelry for 25 years and officially as a business since 2007 so there are so many different collections, materials, and samples that I brought out from my AKL vault for this sale.
A lot of the pieces still aren't up on the site because I need to take more photos. If you saw anything on the instagram highlight or at an in person event, and you don't see it on the site, please send me a message!!
Some of these designs I made exclusively for boutiques that carried my work around the world, so they never even made it onto the website. So much on the business side of AKL has changed since 2020, so it's the most aligned time to make all these changes and let go of jewelry that so many of you knew me for.
Shop the final bow sale!
After this year I won't be offering vermeil or gold-filled jewelry in my collection.
All of my work will be exclusively available in sterling silver and solid gold.
My vermeil and gold-filled work gave my work homes with so many of you through the boutiques that carried my work. But those giftable price points kept going up with my raw materials costs and priced my work out in a lot of cases.
So please join in celebrating the end of this magical chapter of AKL.
This first half of my metalsmithing journey, where I saw my work carried around the world in over 100 different stores. It took me to so many beautiful places, and it connected me to so many people through the intention behind each and every piece. I am so so proud of what we built together.
I am beyond excited for this next chapter as well! There are so many pieces that I have wanted to make just for the joy of making them and that is exactly what I'm going to do all summer long.
The first drop you'll see is for my magical one of a kind carving pieces in August. I've been doing these as custom projects for the past couple years, and now I am going to create a little collections to drop as I am inspired.
I'll also be working on some handmade chains and a super special throw back collection to a design that I dreamed up back in art school over 20 years ago.
I hope you'll join me on this next chapter, but I totally understand if the classic AKL pieces were more your thing.
