About BRIAN CARLSON

Salvaged materials, rawhide leather and antiqued treasures make for inventive pieces that are equal parts adornment and sculptural art. With precision and spontaneity, Carlson welds metals together over a fire brick, hammering and molding each piece into its antiqued, heirloom-reminiscent aesthetic. The final creation reveals itself organically in the process and is metaphorically, stamped with the designer’s fingerprints. Although motifs may be repeated every necklace is the only one of its kind. While others look externally for inspiration the designer credits his creativity as contingent on his spiritual connection. Above all, he aspires to craft jewelry that is the impetus for conversation, communion and a mile marker on his customer’s journeys. "Creativity continues day and night,” says Carlson. “I rely on God to show me how to connect with people through my jewelry and the symbolism behind it all.” Read their story
