Back to the basics. Elemental alchemy symbols are available now! I make these without a bail so you have the option to flip them around to represent two different elements in one pendant. I love putting these together, so if you’re looking for a symbol and don’t see it listed I would love to create a custom order for you!

If you weren't able to make it or missed something while you were here, I'll be listing everything that didn't sell on my Etsy today for Cyber Monday. I'm releasing something new every hour!

First time slicing geodes open for me this week at the shop, it was a little intense cutting straight through stone with a saw but so satisfying! Look at these beauties!
Welcome!
My name is Colleen and I am the artist and designer of Electroalchemy. I make jewelry inspired by nature, mythology, horror, and sci-fi as well as abstract, minimalist and mid-century modern aesthetics.
I am from Phoenix, Arizona and was raised by and grew up around makers and creators. Since 1999 I have studied and worked in technical theatre and film with a focus on stage management, lighting, costuming and prop design. In 2011 I started taking studio courses in lost wax casting as I finished my Bachelor of Arts in Theatre. Under the instruction of Bill Jamieson, I learned how to work with bronze, silver, and gold using the lost wax casting method and instantly fell in love with the process. I was able to combine my knowledge of design through costuming with the satisfaction of sculpting by hand to bring wearable pieces of art to life. I have been adding to my knowledge ever since! In 2015, I moved to South Florida and am a full time jewelry artist. I now use several different creative processes in my work including electroforming, hand forging, torch fired enameling, wire wrapping, riveting, lapidary, sculpting, and precious metal casting.
I love textures and forms found in nature, especially in the area of mycology. Spores, mushrooms, lichens, even D&D slime monsters and ancient Lovecraftian beings are all inspirational to me in their chaotic organization. I love that there is still so much to discover — whether it’s fungi, the deep sea, space exploration, or our own minds, and I find that from the micro to the macro scale there are many details and patterns that I would love to explore with my work.
I hope you enjoy, and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by. ^.^
