5 out of 5 starsA+++. Love the bird necklace that I purchased almost 3 years ago for my daughter-n-law when she gave birth to my grandson. It was a mama bird with a baby bird charm engraved with his initial. I wanted to add another baby bird charm for my new grand daughter and even though she didn't sell the item any longer, she made it for me! She went the extra mile. It was packaged just so sweetly and ready for gift giving.

5 out of 5 starsLovely lovely ring; very well made; just as pictured (which can be a huge gripe of mine when not so; because that is the only way we can determine the purchase). guess I'm all wound up on this because another seller did not have a match: just as described and very prompt delivery

5 out of 5 starsI love my new earrings that Laura custom made for me. These front-facing hoops are great for zoom calls for work--they're beautiful and noticeable but very natural and non-intrusive or distracting. Thank you so much for a gorgeous set of earrings that I can wear every day!

hello !
Laura Flavin :: Designer & Metslsmith
I create modern jewelry infused with sentiment and soul. For many years I expressed my creativity collecting, displaying and selling mid-century modern treasures at my vintage shop Decades Ago-Go in Ybor City, Florida.
During that time I developed a love for modernist and contemporary silver jewelry. In 2003, I discovered the art of metalsmithing & took my first class. It has been a wonderful journey learning to work with my hands to create what is in my mind. I have taken my love for designing and making and applied it to my jewelry line called Modernbird. My mission is to create jewelry that brings the wearer comfort and reflects a part of their soul.... connectedness, love, dreams, joyfulness and being a part of nature.
Using traditional metalsmithing techniques like sawing, forming, forging, filing, soldering, adding texture and patina, I create modern jewelry infused with meaning.
Currently I have my studio at the ArtsXchange in the Warehouse Arts District of St. Petersburg, Florida. There are 25 artists working together in this amazing revamped warehouse space. Send me a note, I would love for you to visit! Every Second Saturday I participate in Artwalk, it’s a great night out - stop by and say hello.
515 22nd Street South :: Studio 106
I am focusing on one of a kind pieces along with my old favorites.
My jewelry is also available at
Plain Jane on Central Ave & 11th Street

Care instructions
♥Care Instructions
Most of my jewelry is oxidized sterling silver with a brushed, sanded, matte finish. To keep this patina over the long haul you can use fine steel wool or 600 grit sandpaper to "scrub it" or clean it. You can also use a polishing cloth to shine it up a bit as it naturally tarnishes (I recommend "Sunshine" brand). For long term storage, wash it with a little bit of dish soap and a soft toothbrush (to get rid of any oil from your skin) and put it in a sealed plastic baggie.
Gift wrapping and packaging
♥Packaging
