GIFT A MEMBERSHIP

Dazzling Jewelry Created by Local Artists

Collection by Cameoko

Cameoko Jewelry is handmade from resin (a two-part epoxy mixture); crushed gems, such as amethyst, lapis, and mother of pearl; metallic gold, copper and silver-leaf flakes; pigments for color, and more. Cameoko uses sterling silver, surgical steel, brass, and 14-carat gold-filled components.

Collection by Nora Julia

Nora Julia designs, forms, files, saws, fuses, hammers, and polishes every piece of her jewelry by hand. She mainly works with Argentium sterling silver—a hypoallergenic, highly tarnish-resistant silver alloy guaranteed to be made using 100 percent recycled metal.

Collection by Fern Works

FernWorks is a one-woman studio creating delicate, dreamlike art and jewelry that blends hand-painted scenes and real, ethically sourced specimens into dimensional layers of polished resin. Each piece is handmade in Asheville and inspired by the natural world.

Collection by Buzz Coren

Mostly self-taught, Buzz Coren creates multi-layered wood jewelry in his shop in Burnsville, North Carolina. Raw tulip poplar veneer is cut, dyed, dried, pressed, sorted, sequenced, stacked, and glued into blocks 300-plus layers thick. It's then cut into smaller pieces and sanded. Then it is cut into yet smaller pieces and refined, drilled, sanded, finished, and sanded one final time again. There are about 50 steps in all.

Unique Gifts Handmade by Artists with Love

Lace Heart Plates by Morgan McCarver
Morgan McCarver was born and raised in Spartanburg, South Carolina and now lives here in Asheville. Each of her porcelain objects are slip cast from handmade molds. She then applies hand-drawn images of flowers inspired by her natural environment. They are also microwave- and dishwasher-safe! These versatile heart dishes are perfect to use for desserts, plates, spoon rests, ring dishes, key keepers, catch-all dishes, soap dishes, wedding favors...the possibilities are endless! 

Bloom Vases by Kathryn Adams
Kathryn Adams is an Asheville glass artist. She's passionate about working with clients to create custom glass artworks to please them and inspire their living spaces. Her work has clean lines through shape and color application, often using the classic Venetian glass-blowing technique, encalmo, which is a timeless technique that serves as a great tool to create modern lines. All Adams' glasses are handmade in Asheville.

Hand-Painted Mugs by Carolyn Ford
Carolyn Ford was born in middle Tennessee and deeply influenced by the Southern oral culture of storytelling, exaggerations, yarns, and colorful Southernisms. As an avid traveler, she relishes learning folklore of each place she experiences, thus attempting to sneak in some humor or stretch the truth in her art. Ford lives in Gaffney, South Carolina, where she has been the chair of the art department at Limestone College since 2010. 

Handmade Candles by Amy Lane
Amy Lane's hand-poured 12-ounce candles are made with 100 percent soy wax, essential oils, and Phthalate-free fragrance oils in reusable cement containers that she also creates. Each one burns for approximately 84 hours.
