Lauren studied jewellery design in the coastal mountains of Mexico and it is clear to see that her uniquely handcrafted pieces reflect her love of travel and her days spent surrounded by natural beauty. Her jewellery is bold yet maintains a certain subtlety. It possesses a rare blend of elegance and edge thats brings together "nature in form and industry in medium."
Her unique collection of earrings, bracelets, rings and necklaces is array with unusual combinations of raw materials such as diamonds, jasper and pink Moroccan druzy with precious metals like 14 karat yellow, rose and green golds. Lauren's jewellery encompasses elements which allude to her working environments: her days as a student in Mexico surrounded by the desert and her current design studio in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. Her castings of stingray skin are achieved through the lost wax casting process using a mould. It is then used to sculpt sterling silver and 14k green gold pieces.
My favourite piece is the Silver Stringray Claw Ring with Druzy Agate. Its rough, dark and shiny ( with the exception of the latter, that is exactly how I like my guys to be).
She has succeeded in creating jewellery of contrast that complements and commands attention.
