LüDIA Jewelry
Hand-Crafted Designs
I began jewelry-making as a hobby a few years ago, starting with a kiln and copper clay, and gradually progressing to .925 silver casting with my own hallmark in the UK. This is purely something I have ventured into for fun but I fully intend to expand on this and create my own line of bespoke pieces. Plenty more to come!
What Do I Do?
I make shiny things with meaning. Each piece of silver jewelry is designed by me and cast by a local company. No mass production, no kids trapped in factories.
It’s art you can wear, forged in fire and finished with love (and probably a cuppa tea). Made by a Brit in Pittsburgh, worn wherever you roam the earth.
How Do I Do It?
The majority of my designs start out as a polymer clay design, handcrafted in my little home office. Once I’m happy with my finished piece, I either make a mold of it myself or send it to a casting company to complete this step, then make multiple casts in real silver. This is a process I would absolutely love to do at home, all by myself. Unfortunately, I may set the house on fire so I’m continuing to hand this step over to the casting professionals.
Got a design in mind and can’t find it anywhere? There’s a good chance I can help. Get in touch and I’ll see what I can do.
