Korte Jewelry Designs
I am passionate about making beautiful jewelry using the same techniques and methods that have been around since ancient times. While I am familiar with “modern” tools and methods (I haven’t met a jeweler yet who doesn’t love tools), I find that I am always drawn back to what I consider to be simpler, albeit much slower, methods.
My work is strongly inspired by the natural world. I truly believe that by using these time-intensive, yet meditative methods to express my awe and admiration of the beauty in nature, there is an energy that emanates from each piece, almost a soul. It is my wish that the wearer connects with that energy and that the piece becomes their personal touchstone. Nothing makes me happier than to know one of my beloved pieces is worn and treasured, and hopefully passed to future generations.
