About Laughing Sparrow

Laughing Sparrow believes in showcasing the beauty of simplicity. Designer and goldsmith Rachael Hatala hand makes every pieces of jewellery out of sustainably sourced sterling silver and gold in her studio located in Calgary Alberta, Canada. ​Nothing gives Rachael more joy than seeing someone wearing a piece of her jewellery that they love. She lives, dreams, and breathes jewellery. She had been making jewellery since she was a child, starting with stringing beads then progressing to selling wire wrapped sea glass at her grandmothers store when she was 12. She was able to begin to translate all the designs in her mind when she took my first silversmithing class in 2007. She makes every piece start to finish with her own two hands and a few simple tools. Working with reclaimed sterling silver and gold and responsibly sourced semiprecious and precious stones, she uses traditional goldsmithing techniques such as filing, piercing, forming, soldering, and polishing to create contemporary and functional designs.Read their story
