Meet the Maker
Hi there! I’m Laura, the heart and soul behind Wild Fern Jewelry, a woman-owned business rooted in community, connection, and creativity.
I’ve always believed that art is a bridge between people, and building a community where connection, emotion, and storytelling can truly thrive is one of my favorite parts of this journey.
Honestly, my creativity is a little all over the place, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m goofy, emotional, and deeply empathetic, and all of that flows straight into the pieces I create. My work is inspired by nature, emotion, and individuality, creating jewelry that feels deeply personal and empowering. Every design reflects a part of me—whether it’s bold and adventurous, soft and sentimental, or something completely unexpected.
Wild Fern Jewelry is where the wild meets your story. My style is always evolving, shaped by the stones I work with, the mood I’m in, and the story I want to tell. While nature inspires much of my creativity, my pieces don’t always follow traditional nature themes. I explore a wide range of styles, letting my emotions and the energy of each stone guide the design. That freedom keeps my work authentic and ensures every piece is meaningful.
I started this journey in January 2022 when I took a leap to follow my passion for creating jewelry. From the moment I first set flame to metal, I knew I’d found something special. It’s been more than learning the craft—it’s been a journey of personal growth, trusting myself more deeply, and embracing the joy of turning raw materials into something that holds emotion.Jewelry is more than something you wear—it’s something you feel. My hope is that every piece evokes emotion, tells a story, or connects you to a moment of strength, confidence, or reflection. No two pieces are alike because no two people are alike.
I’m based in Eugene, OR, where I’ve lived since being adopted from Guatemala. Oregon’s forests, coastline, and deserts inspire my creativity every day. Ferns, especially, hold a special place in my heart—they’re resilient, beautiful, and always growing. That’s the energy I hope each piece carries.
Like the ferns that inspire me, Wild Fern Jewelry is always growing and evolving. My work reflects life’s chaos, beauty, and emotion, and I’m so proud to create bold, hand-forged pieces that feel as unique as the people who wear them.
Thank you so much for being here and supporting Wild Fern Jewelry. Your love and encouragement truly mean the world to me.
