Rebekah J. Designs

Made one at a time, which is the least efficient possible way to run a jewellery business.

A metalsmith, working alone, for twenty years.

Rebekah holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Metalsmithing from the University of Washington and has worked from her home studio since 2005, which is two decades of pointedly not scaling up. Traditional metalsmithing techniques, elemental metals, modern textiles, and no two pieces quite alike, largely because that is what happens when one person makes all of them.

Things that look found rather than made.

Necklaces, rings and cuffs drawn from the natural world: moonsnail rings, ocean-textured bands, star forms. The trick, and it is a genuine one, is that they read as though somebody picked them up on a beach rather than produced them to a brief. Customers tend to report never taking them off again, which is the only review that counts for very much.

Find them here.

Have a browse through the jewellery edit, the necklaces and bracelets and charms, or gifts for her. Rebekah sits among our American brands and our small batch selection, which is where most of the people who refuse to scale up end up.
