We are La Soucique Studio Metalsmithing, a collection of one-of-a-kind, small batch jewelry designed and handcrafted by Kimberly Hanna-Wallis in Amelia Island, Florida.
Working in the smallest environmental footprint possible is paramount to us. Our passion is in traditional hand-fabrication techniques and the use of found and recycled objects like seaglass (saltwater/surf tumbled), beach glass (freshwater/ river and lake tumbled) and sustainable metals.
To us, these techniques best achieve our aim of controlled simplicity and understated elegance.
With every piece we create, we strive to achieve balance between these precise methods of hand fabrication and the imperfections of the organic world of seaglass, in which we find our inspiration.
All jewelry fabrication, from the sawing, filing, sanding, soldering, polishing and setting, everything is done in-house and we emphasize that we use only beach or seaglass that has been naturally tumbled by the environment in which it was found.
Find us at a Pop-up or Art Festival near you! Fresh updates available on www.instagram.com/La_Soucique_Studio or www.facebook.com/LaSouciqueStudio
