JLB Earth & Ore

I create one-of-a-kind, hand-forged sterling silver jewelry under JLB Earth & Ore. Each piece is made by hand in my small home studio using traditional silversmithing techniques, along with more primitive processes like cuttlefish and wood casting. I work with natural stones, rough gemstones, fossils, and mixed metals to create jewelry that feels earthy, raw, and a little unexpected. What makes my work special is that I don’t strive for perfectly polished or mass-produced. I embrace texture, fire marks, oxidation, organic shapes, and the beautiful imperfections created during the process.
