Welcome to A Lady's Slipper Studio! Here, you'll find a variety of slow, handcrafted talismans inspired by the natural world and made in in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. My thoughts are forever on the woods and wonders they hold and I hope when you wear a piece of my jewelry, you feel the same inspiration and power I felt while creating it!
I use precious and recycled metals and my gems and stones are responsibly sourced.
Each piece will be thoughtfully packaged in a linen pouch within an eco-friendly gift box.
At this time, I do not accept custom orders.

5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely stunning. I'm blown away with its beauty. Pictures are gorgeous, but holding it takes it to another level. Will be back to purchase the moss soon.

5 out of 5 starsThese are just lovely! I was afraid the gold would be garish, but it adds just enough sparkle. Packaged so nicely could have been gifted with nothing added.

5 out of 5 starsI bought this as a Christmas gift for my bestie. She really loved a different pair of earings I got her before from this same shop. Even though she loved the other pair and wore them almost daily, she said these were even more beautiful and couldn't wait to put them on. This was the perfect gift and I agree that they are stunning. I'll continue to purchase from this shop, I love their uniquely beautiful flower jewelry.

5 out of 5 starsOriginal Review: I'm a little sad that the necklace didn't come with a gold bee as shown in the listing, but this is still a beautiful and well crafted piece.
Update 11/24/2020: Amanda is an absolute darling, she contacted me regarding the missing bee and as soon as she received it she added the little bee to my necklace and sent it back! I'm absolutely buzzing from excitement and joy. 🐝💖🌼

Bits of magic sawed from silver
Nature reimagined in silver
Many years ago, I started my jewelry making journey with the bowls of vintage silver spoons, pressed flowers from my back porch and resin. I loved preserving bits of nature in this unique and wearable way. BloomSpoons was born and grew from there.
Fast forward 6 years and I yearned for a way to honor the native flowers I'd spend countless weekend hours searching for just to see in person! I began tinkering with the idea of metalsmithing and although I had no local resources, found a day class with a fellow ladysmith a day's drive away. After that class, I was hooked and knew silver would be the perfect way for me to express my love for these mountains I call home. Moving forward, I transformed into A Lady's Slipper Studio.
I spend so much time thinking about flowers and ferns, flora and fauna and hope that passion shows in my work. The Appalachians are a remarkable place to live and explore and when you wear a piece of my jewelry, I hope you can feel that sense of magic.
Each piece of my metalwork is handcrafted using sheets of silver and wire that I saw, file, hammer and solder and evidence of each piece being handcrafted is visible. I like that about my pieces and hope you do as well.
Made from my heart, by my hands.
xoxo

Just a happy butterfly, tucked away in the magical mountains of SWVA with my cute little redhead and his handsome dad. I've always lived in these hills and hope I always do.
