From Local Studios

Handmade by Local Creatives

We are proud to carry the work of these talented local artists in store. This is just a tiny sample of their unique work. We encourage you to come in store to see their displays as pieces change periodically.

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.

Andrew

Daffodil Metal Designs is the husband and wife team of Andrew and Elizabeth Mobley that specializes in one of a kind jewelry that takes natural stones and sets them in metal. The result is statement-making pieces that can be worn daily.

Jodi

AurumgirlStudio by Jodi Johnson uses ancient jewelry methods like casting and macrame knotting, and combing it with unique beads. Jodi’s goal is to make elegant, and wearable jewelry that is contemporary yet timeless in design.

Kazumi

NendoStudio Pottery is made by Kazumi Divens-Cogez. The unique pottery is functional and food safe. Most of her work is high fired and glazed, which is what you see pictured here. Additionally, she uses wood fire and soda fire which requires no outer glaze.

Diana

Diana Noviello has a gift for working with wire, sheet metal, pearls, gemstones, crystal, and impossibly tiny beads. She does all of our pearl and bead stringing, as well as makes her own designs.
