  • Jewelry with Soul

    This is more than adornment. It’s memory, emotion, and stories made tangible. Each piece I create is meant to ground you, inspire you, and remind you of what matters most: your roots, your path, and your magic.

  • No mass production, no shortcuts.

    Every piece is sawn, soldered, hammered, and finished by hand in my small studio. The process is intimate and intuitive. I follow the metal where it wants to go.

  • More than jewelry.

    These pieces are quiet companions - tokens of remembrance, symbols of strength, love notes to the self. Customers often say they feel like their jewelry found them.

The Artist

I'm Jen, the artist, storyteller, and metalsmith behind Rust & Leaf.

Each piece begins as a quiet conversation between metal and memory, guided by the textures of the forest and echoes of my ancestry. What takes shape at my bench becomes a small keepsake of wonder - a way to honor where we come from and what still calls us home.
