Handcrafted Jewelry by Wren Hendrickson

Each piece of jewelry is a unique expression of the natural world—crafted by hand, shaped by instinct, and made to celebrate the beauty of organic forms.

Let's Get Started

Featured Wedding Band Rings

Celebrate your love with rings as enduring and unique as your story. Whether you're choosing or designing engagement and wedding bands, I’m here to help you find pieces that reflect your style, values, and commitment. Each ring is hand-fabricated with care, using recycled precious metals and conflict-free diamonds, and comes with a lifetime guarantee—including free resizing and repairs. I want you to love your ring for life—and I’ll stand behind it, no matter what.

Featured Engagement Rings

Your engagement ring should reflect your love story—personal, meaningful, and one of a kind. Each ring in this collection is hand-fabricated in gold, silver, platinum, or palladium, and features ethically sourced stones like natural diamonds, sapphires, or other precious gems. I craft every piece using traditional techniques of cutting, forging, and soldering—never cast, never mass-produced. The result is a ring as unique as the commitment it symbolizes.

Featured Stone Set Rings

Each of these rings is a one-of-a-kind expression—crafted by hand in gold, silver, platinum, or palladium, and set with distinctive stones like natural diamonds, sapphires, opals, and pearls. I use traditional hand fabrication techniques, meaning every ring is cut, forged, and soldered individually. No molds. No mass production. Just thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship that ensures every piece is unique.

Featured Pendants

​​Each pendant in this collection is a singular work of art—handcrafted in gold, silver, platinum, or palladium, and often set with natural diamonds, sapphires, opals, pearls, or other distinctive gemstones. Using traditional hand fabrication techniques, I cut, forge, and solder each piece individually. No molds. No shortcuts. Just intentional design and skilled craftsmanship, creating pendants that are as unique as the person who wears them.

Wren Hendrickson, Asheville Artist and Goldsmith

Wren Hendrickson

As both artist and artisan, I work directly in precious metals using traditional hand tools—cutting, forging, and soldering together combinations of gold, silver, and platinum. My one-of-a-kind designs are inspired by the natural world, not in literal forms, but through organic themes, subtle color shifts, and unexpected gemstones, including natural color diamonds and nontraditional stones.

I’m drawn to creating a sense of movement and flow through asymmetrical balance—an interplay of shape, texture, and tone that gives each piece rhythm and life.

I look forward to crafting a piece of wearable art that reflects your story, made by hand in my studio.
