about

laura mar is my independent jewelry line, crafting small-batch & one-of-a-kind pieces based in california. i love the beauty of imperfection with each handmade piece. inspired by japanese wabi-sabi and kintsugi, i work with recycled metals to honor history and repair, making pieces that feel human, imperfect, and impossible to replicate by machines

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.

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