About

Inspiration

Renee Frances Jewelry is designed and made in Brooklyn, NY.  The design process is intuitive and allows for accidental "surprises."  Her designs are not based on a fixed blueprint but rather grow from a loose idea and a process of discovery.  

Style & Quality

Designs begin by casting a found object, often from nature, which is then manipulated into something new. Sometimes the final piece resembles the cast object but often it is so far removed from the original casting that it is unrecognizable while still retaining an essential organic quality.

Beautiful Things

The first collection, Tonkawa Trail, was created by casting part of a pine cone and using the cross sections as "material" to build the collection. Subsequent collections are based on objects as diverse as a seed pod, a tooth filling and a scrap of driftwood found on the streets of Brooklyn.
