Rooted in Nature

Hi, my name is James Newkirk. For over a decade I’ve been designing, rebuilding and hand crafting custom jewelry in the mountain town of Big Bear Lake, where I also spend my days hiking these mountain trails that inspire my work. Every piece that comes out of my studio is made with the same value I strive to live by: intentional, sustainable and a little but wild and free. When you wear a piece from Lifted Artisans, you’re wearing a piece of that lifestyle. I intentionally work with repurposed metals and unique, natural stones, so no two pieces are ever quite the same.
