Rebecca Alden Designs, Handcrafted Artisan Jewelry

I credit my love of nature and creative spirit to my parents, who encouraged my artistic pursuits from a young age. With a variety of art and craft materials always on hand to keep me and my sister occupied on rainy days, I would spend my happiest hours immersed in creating. My interest in working in metal jewelry began as a hobby during high school and I was able to advance my metalsmithing skills working as a jeweler’s apprentice for summer employment throughout my college years.

Using basic tools and traditional metalsmithing techniques I personally hand fabricate each of my designs using sterling silver, gold, and gold/silver bimetal combined with colorful gemstones and sea glass. Balancing the aesthetic and technical aspects of jewelry design to achieve both beauty and functionality is a challenge I particularly enjoy. The shapes, textures and colors of nature all inform my work and reference my love for the rural landscape surrounding my New England home.

I have been a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen since 1997.
