Magda
Magda Cockerline is a local jewelry artist who specializes in gemstone, pearl and precious metal ornaments for the hair as well as other traditional pieces. Her studio is in her home in Puyallup, WA, shared with her husband and two canine family members. She trained in metal work at Tacoma Metal Arts Center.
She varies the stones and pearls used to meet an assortment of moods and tell a particular story for each piece. Color is key in her designs and is influenced by nature – the perfect model. Her floral pieces are from every season and color imaginable. Re-purposed vintage faux elements are featured in the “Just Faux Fun” line because sometimes a little whimsy is essential.
Be it a wedding tiara or a simple faux pearl hair comb, the same care is taken with the design and execution of each piece. Each is made to be enjoyed and passed down over time.
