About Banenoire

It's daunting, our potential. Banenoire is living proof of it. 

Jewelry is not something you just choose. 

A piece should resonate, remind and empower.

It comes with embracing our self expression and autonomy  .

There as a reminder of who you promised you'd be. 

For the fascinated, created for you.

About the Jeweler and Process

My artistry honors the craft’s history, while moving it forward. 

Every Design starts with a Sketch. An interpretation of a moment, concept, a feeling. 

Various iterations and play with scale.

From there I source any stones featured. Which usually I'm initially inspired by. 

I work between programs Rhino and Zbrush to construct and sculpt.

I print a wax mold to test for manufacturing.

Partnering with a metal caster in San Diego.

Then I assemble, clean the casting, set stones and Textures.

When a design calls for fabrication and metalwork, Im there. 

My background is in Bench Jewelry then studied CAD modeling for health longevity. 

I’ve worked professionally as a jeweler for 5 years, developing craftsmanship,  and a GIA Jewelry Design and Technology degree to nurture my personal style.

 I have worked extensively with precious metals and rare gemstones.

My studio in California is deeply personal to the way I work. It's where the craftsmanship, engineering and aesthetic design meet .

If you have a jewelry question, don't hesitate to ask.

I want people to wear their things. 

If something is broken, I can likely can restore it or know someone who can (if laser work is required.)

My path is of intuitive expression and longevity, like the metal and gems I work with. 

From Love, Heather
