From Lisa Lauren / Kettle Black Silver: Kettle Black Silver is a small jewelry business I started in 2011. Although it has taken many forms and directions over the years, I have always been influenced by natural materials, animals and one of a kind items. I enjoy finding ways to combine silversmithing with these unique materials to make something that cannot be reproduced on a mass scale. I take commissions and also do repairs. You can find me on Instagram where I often document my process and share tips and tricks for other jewelers. You can also find me at Communication, or various other pop up events.
