Forged from 100% reclaimed metals, husband-and-wife design team Ashley Lowengrub & Dara Gerson's unique jewelry is equal parts art and accessory.  By creating new designs from existing materials in abundance, Alkemie’s mission is to translate something that would otherwise be landfill-bound into wearable art.

Capturing and reinterpreting texture from soft organic forms into lustrous metal is an integral part in Alkemie's design philosophy.  An Alkemie cuff, ring or necklace first starts with an inspiration- a leaf, a starfish, or a one of a kind vintage piece. To replicate the texture and dimension of an object, the designers cast through a lost wax process, playing with the design, and discovering different light dimensions and form. The design process is then culminated in the final casting of the form in a solid piece of reclaimed metal.  An Alkemie piece is an artistic manifestation reflecting the incredible depth and life of natural textures and objects.

Alkemie Jewelry is a brand that pioneers with hopes to change the jewelry industry with its social and environmentally responsible practices. They have earned a devoted international following based not only on the originality of their designs, but their leadership as a socially and environmentally progressive company.  Alkemie promotes local living wage and eco-sustainable business practices as a way to combat the existing harmful effects and conditions of the metal and gemstone industry.

Dara and Ashley’s motivation to live environmentally and socially conscious really comes from exemplifying responsibility to their daughters.
