Designer/Fabricator of Fine Artisan Handmade Jewelry
Joane Cornell – Fine Jewelry, Wildly Wrought
I am a hand-forging jeweler, a metal alchemist, a conjurer of gold and silver—shaping raw elements into exquisite, wearable art. Each piece I create is a marriage of durability and beauty, function and fantasy, crafted to outlast trends and endure generations.
With years spent hammering, sculpting, and refining fine artisan jewelry in the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires, my hands have memorized the weight of precious metals, the way light bends through a perfect gemstone, the raw pulse of design in motion. I work in gold and silver, from 24kt casting grain to the finest alloys, pulling elegance from fire and pressure, forging heirlooms with purpose and precision.
Jewelry with Soul
Every piece of Joane Cornell Fine Jewelry is infused with a restless spirit—earthy yet ethereal, timeless yet untamed. My work thrives in the in-between: between classic and contemporary, day and night, raw and refined. I embrace the unpredictable; I listen as the metal speaks, letting each creation emerge as if it were always meant to be. Transitional jewelry is my signature—pieces that shift seamlessly with the wearer, bold enough to stand alone, subtle enough to layer into a life well-
lived.
Custom Creations, Crafted for the Individual
Jewelry is an intimate form of storytelling, and my custom pieces are written in metal and stone. I collaborate closely with my clients, transforming whispers of ideas into bespoke designs that don’t just meet expectations—they eclipse them. Whether honoring a memory, marking a milestone, or indulging in a purely instinctual aesthetic craving, my commitment remains the same: to craft pieces that resonate on a visceral level. Jewelry should not only be seen but felt.
Sustainability & Ethics – Beauty with Integrity
Luxury should not come at the cost of conscience. My commitment to sustainability is woven into every step of my process. I work with ethically sourced gemstones, cut at the origin to minimize environmental impact. My metals are nearly 100% recycled or reclaimed, ensuring that every design leaves behind beauty, not waste. I honor the Kimberley Process, using only conflict-free diamonds, whether they are modern brilliants or antique rose cuts with stories of their own.
A Legacy in Metal
Jewelry is magic—alchemy between artist, wearer, and time. It is meant to be worn, adored, and ultimately passed down, accumulating history and meaning with every touch. My work is for those who crave more than ornamentation—for those who understand that true beauty carries both weight and wildness.
Made with love,
Joane Cornell
