MEET CANDICE

Candice has been a practicing metalsmith for 20 years. She always knew she wanted to work with her hands, and after trying a few different arts, jewelry chose her.

After beginning her creative journey in fiber arts, she was introduced to jewelry making by a small, family-run company. Without formal education, Candice continued to seek out opportunities and learn various techniques—from lost wax casting to hand forging.

Since then, Candice has carved her own path in the industry using an amalgam of old and new. She creates designs that tell stories inspired by her own life and creates custom pieces so others can share theirs as well.
