Jewelry Feature: Loop Necklaces

Branches is happy to be currently stocking the necklaces of local artisans Loop Jewelry. Established in 2012, their collection of cleverly juxtaposed geometric shapes is striking and elegant. Available in sterling silver, gold, and rose gold on fine brass chains.

Lauren Greenwalt, native to Colorado but a Portlander at heart, was an artistic child growing up in an artistic family. Her creative explorations led her to three dimensional art, and jewelry design came naturally as the perfect medium to pursue her muse. It allowed her to combine a love of classic elegance with playful, quirky symmetry. ​In 2017 she was joined by her husband Kieron Thomas to continue designing and growing the Loop Jewelry collection.

Inspiration for Loop Jewelry stems strongly from the geometric motifs of the Art Deco era and the sensuous fluidity of Art Nouveau creations. Each piece incorporates nuances from the past—but with a new twist. The result is a channeling of classical designs with Lauren's own artistic vision added, making Loop Jewelry not just an item of personal adornment but a piece of art as well.

Loop Jewelry is committed to investing in more sustainable materials, while also embracing sustainable practices. All sterling silver used is sourced responsibly, with the majority being composed of recycled sterling. The gold fill may also include up to 85% recycled gold.
