Welcome to Mineral & Meridian!

 

I’m Nicole, the hands behind this small business, twisting wire and stone into meticulously crafted wire wrapped jewelry. Originally from Northern California, I’m an enrolled member of the Karuk Tribe and have been based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for over a decade.

 

I learned the art of wire wrapping and lapidary work from my grandmother, a self-taught artisan, when I was just 10. A true family tradition, each item is handmade by me, but my children love to "help" by ensuring my tools and wires are never where I left them. So really, you could say it's a joint effort! Now, after years of honing my craft and sharing it with my family, I’m sharing this tradition with you.

 

My pieces are inspired by and designed to complement organic forms and the natural textures, patterns, and stories woven into stones, all wrapped up—quite literally—into wearable art. Every piece at Mineral & Meridian is crafted with love, tradition, and a little bit of magic from my family to yours. Thank you for supporting my small business!
