Birch Artisan Studio

Birch Artisan Studio is built on the belief that we are all connected to each other and our world. These pieces carry our stories; of origins and beginnings, journeys, loves and life. They offer a reminder for us to take care… of ourselves, those we love and the places we cherish.

Whether it’s gemstones, flowers, wood or plants, each piece has its own meaning, its own story.

We are often used to seeing the larger beauty of life; the massive sunflower, the long stems of lupins, larkspur & foxglove, the mountains that reach from end to end, and the vastness of our skies and oceans, that we miss the very intricate tiny world of the smaller parts that make up the whole. Just like us, these tiny parts, all the subtleties and complex nuances, are what makes each piece unique. They focus in on those tiniest of details, the small beauty, the subtlety of life itself.

We celebrate your story and the people, places, and experiences you hold in your heart with handcrafted jewelry that goes beyond the sum of the materials.

About the Artist

Krista Smith

I am rooted more firmly each year in the desire to respect, preserve. protect and honour our beautiful Mother Earth. I believe we are stewards of this land and it is our responsibility to care for it.

Through the years I’ve explored different mediums but have always found myself gravitating to the natural world. As a child, I would often bring home little treasures from the beach or the forest. In 2013 I started working with burl wood, looking at ways to incorporate the beauty of the unique grains into fine jewelry. A birch burl was my very first piece which led to the launch of Birch Artisan Studio.

Testimonials

My wife ordered the Prairie Crocus, she and her sister used to collect crocus flowers in the spring, and it's always been a symbol of their relationship. It serves as a precious connection that my wife will wear in remembrance. A small thing perhaps, but something maybe an artisan would appreciate that goes far beyond the sum of the materials. Thank you.
