Sparr Handcrafted Jewelry

Made by Hand

Made to be worn. Made to be passed on.

Dale is an independent jewelry artist. She designs and makes every piece herself in her studio.

Primarily working with fine silver, along with other materials and a variety of techniques, Dale creates jewelry that reflects her love of form, texture, and thoughtful design.

Each piece begins at her bench and develops through a hands-on process of shaping, forming, texturing, firing, finishing, and setting.

She works slowly and in small numbers, giving each piece the time and attention it deserves.

Above all, Dale creates jewelry with longevity in mind: pieces meant to be worn and enjoyed now, treasured for years, and perhaps one day passed on to someone else.

The process

From bench to worn

  1. 01

    Designed

    Every piece begins with an idea of form — a shape, a line, a surface Dale wants to see in silver.

  2. 02

    Shaped and formed

    The design takes on dimension at the bench, worked by hand until the proportions feel right in the hand and on the body.

  3. 03

    Textured

    Surface is where much of the character lives: soft, organic, and quietly detailed.

  4. 04

    Fired and refined

    The piece is brought to its final form and refined with care, edge by edge.

  5. 05

    Finished and set

    Polishing, patina and stone setting complete the piece, ready to be worn.
