About Handpicked By Lori

Handpicked by Lori was born from a shared love of vintage treasures, meaningful craftsmanship, and a lifetime of working side by side. My husband and I are high school sweethearts who have been married for over 45 years. Throughout our marriage, we have worked as entrepreneurs side by side in several businesses together. Designing jewelry is simply the most recent chapter in our journey. We have been designing and handcrafting silverware jewelry for our own retail collections, and for select wholesale partners for several years. We are proud to serve and grow meaningful relationships with our wholesale customers through Faire. We live and work in a small town in Iowa, where slower living, tradition, and connection still matter. Our designs are inspired by vintage silverware patterns and the beauty of giving forgotten pieces new life. Each item is thoughtfully handcrafted by us, from shaping and polishing to final finishing, ensuring no two pieces are ever exactly alike. We believe jewelry should tell a story — of history, love, and intention. Every piece we create reflects our appreciation for timeless design, sustainability, and the joy of making something meaningful by hand. Our work is rooted in partnership, patience, and pride, and we’re honored to share these one-of-a-kind pieces with retailers and customers who value authenticity and craftsmanship as much as we do.
