So happy with my purchase again!!! I will keep buying my stud earrings here. They are so beautiful. I work at a hospital, and I can’t wear most jewelry. These studs are so perfect for me. Thank you!

The ring is gorgeous! I am loving wearing such a unique piece. I'm so glad I found this shop and such a phenomenal craftsperson. Will wear it with pride and tell everyone where I purchased it. Great transaction and was made and arrived much more quickly than anticipated. Arrived with a nice jewelry bag and a beautiful handwritten note which was so appreciated. Thank you!!

This is the 2nd set of earrings I’ve bought from this store and yet again I’m super happy with the quality, size and simplistic design of these earrings. I have plugs and need a small filler in between my other piercings and these are exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

What a lovely ring! I love Labradorite and being rose cut just made it even better. It is a very well-made ring and has tons of beautiful blue flash. This shop is amazing and I am quite sure I will be back for more purchases in the future. I highly recommend this great seller and shop!

Living in the West makes it easy to appreciate the natural world...
Sweet and small is how I make most of my pieces, but sometimes I turn out a larger piece.
Fine, detailed work is what I love most about metal smithing.
My bench is usually a little messy with about 15 projects going at once.

My name is Kristina, and I am the owner and metalsmith of Apostrophie Jewelry. Using sterling silver, karat gold and vibrant, exotic natural stones I design and fabricate fine artisan pieces. Since 2008 I have practiced metalsmithing, having first picked up a torch and silver in Santa Barbara, California while working towards a Ph.D. in molecular biology. Now I live in Butte (NOT pronounced "butt"!), Montana where I am a Mom, a part-time student working towards a nursing degree and sometimes find time to make jewelry.

There are many reasons why I make jewelry, a rich and functional art form. The first is my innate desire to explore the world of the tiny, whether by looking through the microscope or by making small jewelry objects. Second, I want to show you the stunning things Earth can do with dirt, water and time, which is why I seek out the most unique, rare semi-precious and precious natural gemstones. But perhaps most importantly, I love the idea that jewelry has been used as a form of symbology and empowerment for millennia. Customers tell me that my jewelry has empowered them in business meetings, Ph.D. defenses and marathons, and their pieces symbolize important life events. Jewelry is exquisite and luxurious, but I also believe that jewelry is powerful and profound. I hope that you find that strength and beauty in my work.
