THE COLLECTIVE + Natural Elements
As a New Jersey native, Laura's passion for design started at a young age, fueled by the beauty of nature and the vibrant energy of architecture.
Growing up, Laura found solace and inspiration in the natural world, collecting shells, driftwood, crab claws whatever she was fascinated by along the Jersey shore or looking for fossils, at her grandparents Upstate New York property. It was there, under her grandmother's guidance, that she learned the art of gardening, which would later become integral elements of her jewelry creations. Today, as a metalsmith artisan, Laura channels that childhood wonder and reverence for nature into each piece crafted.
Working with mediums, such as brass, bronze, copper, fine & sterling silvers, Laura merges the raw beauty of these materials with the elegance of natural stones, pearls and hand cast shells. Her work is an extension of who she is being creative and seeing things in a different light.
Through her business, Natural Elements, Laura's designs from delicate to bold, each piece reflects craftsmanship, and creativity inviting wearers to embrace the beauty of the world around them.
"I hope my designs give you as much pleasure they did me creating them.
Peace, love and happiness"
Laura
