i’m jade.
the maker of the metal
the hands that are doing the crafting. The dancing queen.
your local silversmith out west
All of my pieces are made in my tiny garage in Oceanside, nestled in with all our gear and a million disco balls. most days you can find me in there melting things and having my own personal dance party (my poor neighbors) but If i’m not there i’m probably chasing my 3 dogs down a beach somewhere or up in the mountains fly fishing. I was born n’ raised in Mammoth Lakes which is where Peregrine was created and where my love of creating comes from. I’m a (mostly) self taught silversmith that was a wedding photographer for 8 years so getting to work with my hands (and fire) to create real life items feeds an entirely different side of my creativity. being able to wear my own handcrafted jewelry and to see others adorned in it makes my heart feel like jello. my ultimate goal is to be able to teach private lessons and spread the silversmithing love!
peregrine silver was born out of the boredom of 2020.
it started at my desk that was meant for editing photos. I needed a way to get my creative jitters out so a few youtube videos later, my first ring came to life and i was hooked. Peregrine Silver was originally born in Mammoth Lakes but is currently growing in Oceanside.
what is Peregrine?
i got the name from one of my favorite animals, the Peregrine falcon. once an endangered species that is now thriving, they are known for flying at speeds up to 200 mph, making them the fastest species in the animal kingdom. they are resilient and beautiful and insanely badass, which is everything I want my work to be.
every piece of metal that comes off my bench, leaves with a little bit of my heart and gets to carry on a legacy in new places with new people. the goal is to create long lasting, quality pieces that can go with you through every era (maybe even become an heirloom?) and can weather the elements. all of my pieces are made with .925 sterling silver and genuine stones and gems. pieces made for life.
Jewelry inspired by my favorite places.
the landscape and my experiences of my favorite places have shaped me into the artist that i am today and have had a major influence on my designs and the functionality of my pieces. I like to be able to live in my jewelry which just means i want to be able to wear it in my daily life during my favorite activities and not have it hinder me. i want you to be able to do the same.

Get in touch.
all of my pieces are one of a kind but if your dreaming of a one of a kind piece made only for you (or a loved one), get in touch and tell me your ideas. I would love to work together to make it come to life.
