Hello there! I’m Alisha, an Aries Sun, Aquarius Moon, and Capricorn Rising. I’m a self-taught Metalsmith and have been sharpening my skillset over the last 10 years. My husband Joe is a skateboarder, my travel companion, and best friend. We’ve been together since 2015 and have a beautiful family of 3 cats: Maple, Walnut, and Cypress.
I grew up on a farm in Oregon and have spent most of my life in the Pacific Northwest, but moved to Southern Utah back in 2020. We’re lucky to have several State & National Parks within reach, so I spend a lot of my free time hiking and gaining inspiration from all the desert scenery.
I enjoy cooking, gardening, mountain biking, kayaking, practicing yoga, tarot, and learning! While I’m at my workbench, you can find me listening to music like punk, pop punk, ska, hardcore, melodic death metal, metalcore, 80’s/90’s hip hop, and the Spice Girls. I also usually have a podcast playing in the background or watch Youtube videos on topics like astrology, mythology, herbal medicine, witchcraft, alchemy, geology, biology, quantum physics, history, and philosophy.
My jewelry design style blends intricate craftsmanship with deep symbolism, rooted in nature, the universe, and creation. I specialize in working with copper (sometimes Brass & Nickel) and love making bold, statement pieces like bolo ties, cuffs, and necklace pendants. Inspired by sacred geometry, I design according to the patterns and forms that appear naturally in the world around me.
My designs are not just accessories; they are expressions of energy and connection, which is particularly meaningful for the couples I work with. Since my pieces are worn on special occasions like weddings, they become lasting symbols of love and intention, with each design reflecting both natural beauty and purpose.
I had always wanted to incorporate my artistic eye into the world of fashion, so making southwestern-inspired jewelry has been a great outlet for me. I’ve always enjoyed creating with my own hands, even from a very young age, but nothing has ever ignited my soul’s desire like playing with metal and stones has!
Thanks for checking out my work and encouraging me to continue doing what I love!
-Alisha Jerelle
