Here & Now Design Studio

Each piece of jewelry begins as a spark of inspiration in the hands of MJ, the artist and metalsmith behind this collection. Working from her small home studio, MJ meticulously handcrafts every design using traditional metalsmithing techniques and a deep love for her materials.

Since 2015, MJ has been creating timeless, sophisticated, and uniquely personal pieces in sterling silver and 14k gold filled metals. She first began by taking a metalsmithing/jewelry class at Pikes Peak Community College, not knowing what she was getting into. To her surprise and delight she quickly fell in love with all the possibilities of bending, shaping, and soldering metal. Metalsmithing effortlessly became her flow state, a timeless space where she creates.

With every cut, hammer strike, and polish, MJ pours intention and care into her jewelry. The result is more than an accessory—it's a lasting piece of wearable art, made entirely by one pair of hands.
