The Lore
Hi! I'm Avery, the jeweler behind Avery Nicole Jewelry.
I specialize in handmade fine jewelry, bespoke bridal, and one-of-a-kind artisan pieces that celebrate craftsmanship and meaningful design. Every piece is created by my hands in my Salt Lake City studio using traditional metalsmithing techniques, with a focus on quality, longevity, and thoughtful details.
Jewelry has always felt like more than an accessory to me. It's something that marks life's biggest moments, tells a story, and becomes part of someone's everyday life. Whether I'm creating an engagement ring, a wedding band, or a one-of-a-kind artisan piece, I love knowing that what I make will be worn and cherished for years to come.
My path into jewelry wasn't exactly traditional. After earning my degree in psychology and working in pharmaceutical research, I realized my heart was calling me somewhere else. I took a leap of faith, left my career behind, and pursued being a jeweler full-time—a decision that completely changed my life.
Since then, I've continued refining my craft through advanced fine jeweler training and countless hours at the bench, learning traditional fabrication and stone-setting techniques that allow me to create heirloom-quality jewelry built to last.
Creating with my hands also feels like a way of honoring my family's legacy. After retiring, my great-grandfather discovered a passion for lapidary work, spending his time cutting and polishing gemstones. My grandfather was a metal fabricator who built everything from boat trailers and gates to large custom metal projects. I'd like to think I get to carry on a little bit of both of their crafts—just on a much smaller scale. Every piece I make brings together a love of metal and stone, transforming raw materials into something meaningful that can be treasured for generations.
Thank you so much for being here and supporting handmade craftsmanship. It truly means the world to me, and I'm so honored that something I create gets to become part of your journey.
