about

laura mar is my independent jewelry line, crafting small-batch & one-of-a-kind pieces based in california. i’m drawn to the beauty of imperfection in each handmade piece, inspired by japanese wabi-sabi and kintsugi. using recycled metals, i create jewelry that embraces texture, character, and the feeling of something truly made by hand.

i’ve been a lifelong daydreamer and art lover, with a habit of packing up and starting fresh. i’ve called japan, the uk, mexico, chicago, new york, austin, and now california home. each place leaving a little bit of magic in my work. tokyo is where i spent the most time (ages 11–18), and it still finds its way into everything i create.

when i’m not in the studio, i’m at the movies, at live music shows, or volunteering with wildlife. i go on a lot of sunset walks (undeniably cheesy, but true) and i’m usually hanging out with my two cats and my dog (see photos below.)

i created this space to share my metalsmithing adventures & art experiments with you!
