I started making jewelry at the age of ten amidst a childhood of daydreaming and treasure hunting. A decade later, I taught myself the craft of wax carving in my Los Angeles apartment and began casting pieces in the downtown jewelry district. As a homage to my childhood self, I named the brand my full first name, Evangeline.
In 2025, I earned my Graduate Gemologist Diploma from the Gemological Institute of America—an experience that deepened my connection to the materials I work with and the stories they carry. The genesis of each piece is one of a kind, but all born from the same intention: to tend to the unique soul of the wearer.
Each piece of jewelry is hand-carved in wax by Evangeline, and cast in small batches using the ancient lost-wax casting method.
I find it curious that humans, since the beginning of time, have felt the need to adorn themselves with objects. In a world saturated by needless things, it is easy to forget how something like a piece of jewelry, crafted with intention, can offer a sense of meaning and beauty to the wearer.
Evangeline Jewelry seeks to remind wearers of lost imaginary worlds from our childhood, invite them to care for their souls through the art of adornment, and inspire belief in the potential for material objects to carry significance that can last well beyond a lifetime.
