Meet the Maker

Hi there! I’m Laura, the heart and soul behind Wild Fern Jewelry, a woman-owned business rooted in community, connection, and creativity.

Honestly, I’m a little all over the place—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m goofy, emotional, and deeply empathetic, and all of that flows into the pieces I create. My work is inspired by nature, emotions, and individuality, creating jewelry that feels deeply personal and empowering. Every design reflects a part of me—whether it’s bold and adventurous, soft and sentimental, or something completely unexpected.

Wild Fern Jewelry is where the wild meets your story. My style is always evolving, shaped by the stones I work with, the mood I’m in, and the story I want to tell. While nature inspires much of my creativity, my pieces don’t always reflect traditional nature themes. I explore a wide range of styles, allowing my emotions and the energy of each stone to guide my designs. This freedom keeps my work authentic and ensures every piece is unique and meaningful.

I started this journey in January 2022 when I took a leap to follow my passion for creating jewelry. From the moment I first set flame to metal, I knew I’d found something special, and I haven’t looked back since. It’s been so much more than learning the craft—it’s been a journey of personal growth, learning to trust myself, letting my creativity take the lead, and embracing the joy of turning raw materials into something meaningful.

Jewelry is so much more than something you wear—it’s something you feel. My goal is for every piece to evoke emotions, tell a story, and connect you to moments of strength, confidence, or reflection. No two pieces are alike, because no two people are alike.

I’m based in Eugene, OR, where I’ve lived since being adopted from Guatemala. Oregon’s forests, coastline, and deserts inspire my designs every day. Ferns, in particular, hold a special place in my heart—they’re resilient, beautiful, and always growing. That’s the energy I strive to bring into every piece I create.

Like the ferns that inspire me, Wild Fern Jewelry is always growing and evolving. My work reflects life’s chaos, beauty, and emotion, and I’m so proud to create bold, hand-forged pieces that feel as unique as the people who wear them.

Thank you so much for being here and supporting Wild Fern Jewelry. Your love and encouragement mean the world to me!
