Whittled Silver

My name is Mariana Whittle, and my brand is named after my family-Whittled Silver. Long before I learned to silversmith, I was drawn to turquoise and silver jewelry. I spent years admiring handmade pieces, studying their details, and saving up for the ones I couldn't bear to leave behind. Now, I'm the one at the bench. I love the process of 'whittling' down raw metal—shaping, filing, and refining silver until it becomes a home for beautiful stones, gems, and pearls. Living in LA, life can feel like a constant wall of sound. My jewelry desk is where that noise finally stops. When I put on my headphones and pick up my torch, the city fades away. I'm deeply intentional about what I set in my silver, sourcing my turquoise and stones from independent lapidaries and small-scale stone cutters. I want to know the hands that shaped the stone before it ever reaches mine. I make these pieces so you can feel a bit more like yourself, and a bit more connected to the nature around you.
