I create small collections of natural-by-design, handcrafted jewelry. Each piece is made with intention + great attention to detail, created with high quality, curated gemstones + materials + packaged in eco-friendly, sustainable packaging.

I love that each piece has its own history + journey, from the sourcing of natural gemstones, to expertly cutting them + to arriving in my studio to be shaped by my hands into timeless, meaningful pieces that continue on their journey with a renewed purpose.

At times, I adaptively re-use materials to create my pieces, as an eco-conscious way to breathe new life into well-loved jewelry that may otherwise have been discarded or underutilized.*

Naturally Awear is a woman-owned, small artisan business, where I am the sole owner, designer, creator.

Growing up along SC’s coast with my feet deeply rooted in pluff mud, my life has always been influenced by natural environments that provide invaluable habitat for flora + fauna.

Born into a family of nature-loving artists, including my mother who was a painter of birds + Lowcountry landscapes, my artwork has inevitably been influenced by them + by nature. 

Although focusing my time on jewelry design, I am also a perpetual student of many interests that influence my work ~ I'm a preservation + conservation planner, a grant writer, certified as a Master Naturalist + in Sustainable Agriculture + I'm a lifelong student in the art of Herbalism.

I love procuring natural, ethically-sourced stones + handcrafting pieces into unique, natural-by-design jewelry. 

With gratitude, allie 

Over the years of creating small batch, intentionally designed + handcrafted pieces, I’ve made it a priority to curate one-of-a-kind designer-quality stones from manufacturers + sellers who take great pride in responsibly + sustainably sourcing gemstones, some making sure that local water sources + habitats are protected + others who implement responsible manufacturing + fair trade practices.

When you purchase or receive a piece of my work, rest assured that much thought + intention goes into each piece: from handcrafting each piece with high quality, natural stones to sustainably packaging + shipping each in eco-friendly, sustainable packaging - fully recycled, recyclable, or naturally biodegradable, compostable packaging that's better for our health + the health of our beautiful planet. 

Your new pieces may arrive in reusable 100% natural organic + eco-friendly cotton muslin bags made from recyclable fabric Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) or 100% recycled, FSC® Certified, recyclable or naturally biodegradable kraft boxes.
