Hi, I'm Andrea—the sole designer, metalsmith, and artisan behind Andrea Bonelli Jewelry. What began as a personal passion has grown into a full-time commitment to creating meaningful, sustainable, and ethically made jewelry for almost 20 years. As a one-woman operation, every piece you see has passed through my hands—from the initial spark of inspiration to the final polish before it’s lovingly packaged and sent to its new home.

I wear many hats: designer, maker, photographer, editor, marketer, customer service rep, shipper, and web developer. While it’s a lot to juggle, I wouldn't have it any other way. This hands-on process allows me to stay intimately connected to my work and ensures that each piece is created with the intention and care it deserves.

My creative journey began with a deep curiosity and a love for craftsmanship. Over the years, I’ve worked with various artistic mediums. This exploration has given me a well-rounded appreciation for wearable art and how it can connect people to their own stories and values.

Every skill I’ve acquired has been self-taught. I believe there’s something incredibly empowering about learning organically—at your own pace, driven by curiosity and intuition rather than formal instruction. It’s this approach that allows my work to remain authentic and ever-evolving. I’m constantly refining techniques, discovering new textures, and developing designs that feel both timeless and personal.

More than just adornment, I see jewelry as a form of expression—a way to carry intention, memory, and meaning in our daily lives. My hope is that when you wear one of my pieces, you not only feel beautiful, but also connected to your own sense of self.

Thank you for supporting handmade and ethical craftsmanship. It means the world to me.

Warmly,
Andrea
