Shop By Metal

Peruse our complete collection of alternative metal jewelry handcrafted using artisan techniques to bring dimension and intrigue to eco-friendly and hypoallergenic metals.

Aluminum

Prized for its affordability, low weight and corrosion resistant finish, aluminum metal makes a practical jewelry making material that holds intricately textured and engraved detail beautifully. Its muted silver grey tone lends itself well to industrial-inspired jewelry designs.

Best For: Everyday wear, edgy modern style devotees

Bronze

With its rich golden brown hue and gorgeous patina finish, bronze has been prized since ancient times for jewelry making and sculpting. Bronze readily accepts applied patinas ranging from pale green to deep blue. The metal will continue to develop its signature patina darker and richer over time.

Best For: Bohemian style lovers, antique jewelry enthusiasts

Copper

Our extensive handmade copper jewelry collection includes link chain necklaces, solid copper cuffs and bangles, hammered and statement earrings and stacks of copper band rings. Copper boasts a delightfully rosy undertone and when treated with patinas and liver of sulfur, the metal transforms into stunning oceanic blues and greens.

Best For: Statement jewelry lovers, green thumbs and nature girls

Gold

Our sustainably sourced precious metal collections allow you to wear heirloom quality pieces at an accessible everyday price point. We utilize durable yet lightweight gold filled rather than karat gold to craft dimensional statement rings, personalized medallions, and hand-hammered cuff bracelets.

Best For: Everyday luxury seekers, rose gold devotees

14K Gold

Our signature 14 karat gold collections invite you to explore uncommon cuts of meaningful stones from ethically sourced suppliers. Each piece features responsibly mined diamonds as well as dazzling accent stones like garnets, blue topaz, and peridot.

14K Gold Filled

For nearly half the cost of solid gold, our gold filled pieces heat bond two layers of 14K gold to brass cores allowing us to craft fine gold cuffs, and wire sculpted gemstone earrings that last a lifetime. Gold filled also minimizes the use of karats to reduce mining demands.

Silver

Beyond basic sterling silver selections, we seek out intriguing metal treatments like patinas, liver of sulfur and torch enameling to create one-of-a-kind silver jewelry perfect for layering and stacking. The possibilities are endless. Opt for statement gemstone rings, wire wrapped gemstone earrings in fine silver, or hammered silver cuffs to commemorate special dates.

Best For: Personalization, layering

Stainless Steel

Boasting a supersharp high polish finish and serious strength, stainless steel allows us to get creative with bold shapes, clean lines and striking contrasts playing with multiple finishes from mirror-like shine to matte finish. Surgical grade stainless steel makes an optimal choice for everyday jewelry that can withstand wear and tear without tarnishing, warping or irritating sensitive skin.

Best For: Edgy modernists, sensitive skin

Surgical Grade 316L Stainless Steel

Surgical stainless steel is a top choice for sensitive skin. The alloy resists corrosion and tarnishing meaning pieces like wide hammered cuffs can maintain their luminous mirror finish for years without needing replacement. Compared to sterling silver, stainless steel’s hardness makes it highly scratch resistant and less prone to warping and metal fatigue allowing John to craft slender stacks, bold rings and lightweight earrings ideal for everyday.

Choosing Your Perfect Piece

Unsure where to begin when faced with so many intriguing jewelry designs crafted from a world of alternative metals? Consider the following factors when selecting your signature piece.

Choose Your Preferred Metal

Explore our shop by metal pages to immerse yourself in the unique properties and stylistic possibilities of each material. Do you prefer yellow gold’s striking brilliance or theodesant mystique of blackened sterling silver? Are you drawn to copper's romantic allure or stainless steel's slick high tech aesthetic?

Pick Your Style Personality

Are you fashion forward with an affinity for the unusual? Our mixed metal industrial inspired collections feature compelling combinations of bronze, steel and brass. Love all things vintage inspired? Peruse our signature chain necklaces and anticlastic bangle bracelets.

Consider Your Lifestyle

Choose durable metals like stainless steel and bronze if you plan to wear your jewelry daily and want lasting shine that resists scratches. Opt for lightweight aluminum cuffs or stainless earrings if you want to comfortably layer pieces. For special occasions, choose gold and sterling silver.

Select Within Your Budget

With high quality jewelry crafted from alloy alternatives to pricey precious metals like 14K and 18K gold, our collection makes fine jewelry attainable at every budget.

Care for Your Jewelry Properly

Take care to remove metal jewelry before showering, swimming or cleaning with harsh chemicals which may damage finishes. Store pieces individually in soft lined boxes rather than tossing together loosely in a jewelry pile to prevent scratching. Annual professional cleanings along with monthly home cleanings using a gentle polishing cloth safe for your chosen metal will help jewelry maintain its shine.

Certain metals like bronze and copper may patina naturally overtime as well, enhancing their beauty.
