Artisan Story
Nancy Nelson is a creator of authentically nature-inspired jewelry, which she makes in collaboration with Mother Nature herself. Nancy's designs range from twigs and leaves to stems and flowers, but each an every piece is cast and created form an actual finding. She realized her passion for jewelry making in a metalsmith class during her collage career as an industrial design major, and after school in 2007, she began her own business. By 2011 the business had grown to a full-operational level and Nancy found the need to grow her home as well. She built an in-home studio where she could continue to be inspired by the natural scenery around her forest home in the Appalachian Mountains , as well as balance her role as a wife and loving mother. You can still find her here today, drawing inspiration from the world around her and translating the marvel for nature she sees in her children's eyes into wearable, all-natural, beautiful jewelry pieces.
Eco Info
Nancy is passionate about creating jewelry with an emphasis on quality, style, sustainability and integrity, while mindfully holding onto her authentic roots as a designer. Protecting Mother Earth is top priority (after all, her designs are picked from the earth itself), so she places high standards on sourcing ethically-mined stones, and using recycled metal when possible. Every piece of jewelry is created with low impact, environmentally conscious practices. She even gives back to nature, by donating a portion of all woodland jewelry sales to American Forests, which helps protect and restore forests worldwide.
