My name is Christy and I am the owner, maker, silversmith here at Laika Jewelry. Laika Jewelry is named after my rescued schnauzer mix, my studio companion and nature muse on 26 acres of off-grid land in Hill County in Central Texas. My handmade pieces draw inspiration from Texas night skies, wildflowers, local gemstones from Big Bend and Llano,Texas and wildlife including coyotes, owls, bats, butterflies & many more. I hand craft each piece using sustainable, ethically sourced gemstones in recycled sterling silver, employing various Metalsmithing techniques like hand stamping, enameling, stone setting, and lost wax casting. Trained by Dallas-based contemporary jewelers and by taking classes at the Creative Arts Center in Dallas, I blend traditional silversmith methods to create nature-inspired jewelry that honors both artistry and the environment in which I live & work. Hope you enjoy my handmade jewels & thank you for stopping by🌞✨xx Christy
