Anseras Design is a small jewelry studio based in North Carolina, where each piece is designed and made by hand in small batches.
As an artist, I’m drawn to natural materials. Gemstones, stainless steel, bronze, and copper. My work focuses on balance — between organic texture and everyday wearability. Anseras Design lives in the space between the workbench and the jewelry box - pieces that delight and surprise, but that you’re not afraid to wear.
The word ‘Anseras’ in the name Anseras Design is an interpretation of the Latin word for geese. Geese reflect the ideals I have built my business on - they live in community, they take turns leading so none experience burnout, and they never leave a sick or injured goose behind. That quiet sense of purpose also shapes the work: jewelry meant to be worn often, lived in, and trusted.
Every piece begins with the materials themselves. Stones, metal, and wire guide the process. I design with care, keeping durability and comfort in mind from the start. Each piece I design is real-life tested by me, to make sure it can stand up to what that day may hold.
Anseras Design jewelry is made intentionally, one piece at a time, in North Carolina.
