Laura Hutchcroft

"I believe jewelry should be more than casual decoration. It should be a reflection of the creator and the wearer."

Influenced by the dichotomy of modern architecture in the natural world, Laura Hutchcroft's jewelry is the interplay of simple geometrics and a minimalist aesthetic. With a direct approach to composition, constructions are based on tension systems and connections are made by the simplest means. The resulting jewelry is equally prepared to make a statement and become an everyday favorite.

Each piece of Laura Hutchcroft's jewelry is created by hand using low-tech metalworking techniques: cutting, forging, bending, forming, and coaxing materials to become more than a collection of raw materials is all part of the playful creative process.

Laura Hutchcroft, the designer and maker behind Inteplei jewelry, has formal education and career backgrounds in emergency medicine, tourism administration, and business management. She is a self-taught metalsmith.
