Laura from Wild Fern Jewelry 

Hi there. I’m Laura, the heart and hands behind Wild Fern Jewelry!

Wild Fern started as a creative leap in January 2022, but my love for jewelry began long before that. I have always been drawn to it. I loved how it made me feel. I loved dressing up in it, stacking rings, layering necklaces, choosing pieces that felt like me.

For years, I had this quiet desire to make my own. I often found myself wishing I could tweak a piece. Adjust the size. Change a detail. Make it feel more like mine. I wanted jewelry that felt personal and intentional, but also wearable in a real way. So I decided to learn how to create it myself.

From the first time I set flame to metal, I was hooked. What I didn’t expect was how deeply this work would connect me to other people, and how much of myself I would find in the process.

I’m a little all over the place in the best way. I’m emotional, intuitive, and deeply empathetic, and that flows into every piece I create. Some designs are bold and adventurous. Others feel soft and sentimental. Most of the time, I let the stones guide me. Their colors and textures shape the direction, and I trust that the right piece will find the right person at the right time. I truly believe certain pieces are meant to meet certain people.

Wild Fern is where the wild meets your story.

 

Every piece is handcrafted in small batches using sterling silver, gold-filled, and brass. I’m drawn to stones that feel alive and full of character. No two pieces are exactly alike, because no two people are exactly alike. I create with real people in mind. Different sizes. Different stories. Different ways of showing up in the world.

I’m based in Eugene, Oregon, where the forests, coastline, and desert landscapes constantly inspire me. I was adopted from Guatemala, and that sense of rootedness and identity quietly shapes the way I see the world. Ferns have always felt symbolic to me. They are resilient, strong, and beautiful without trying too hard. That is the energy I hope my work carries, and the feeling I hope it brings to you.


Jewelry should feel intentional.
Grounding. Personal.
Something you reach for without thinking
because it already feels like part of you.
A quiet reminder of who you are.
That’s what I create for.

I want these pieces to move through life with you. To be there on ordinary days and milestone days. To hold the memory of a season, a shift, a celebration, or even a quiet turning point.

My hope is that when you wear Wild Fern, it doesn’t just sit on you. It becomes part of your story. Something you look back on one day and remember who you were when you first chose it.

Wild Fern Jewelry is slow-made and intentionally crafted. I price my work in a way that honors the time, care, and materials behind each piece so it can be worn often, loved deeply, and kept for years to come.

If you’re here, I’m really glad you found your way. I hope you see something that feels like you, or maybe even helps you feel a little more like yourself.
