About Us

Hi, I'm Sabrina and I'm the owner and crafter of Lapidary & Lore, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan!

I absolutely love crystals and gemstones—they're beautiful and have always felt to me like they're straight out of a fantasy world. My journey into jewelry crafting started in 2023 when I realized that amethyst beads looked a lot like grapes. Then I thought carnelian beads would make cute cherries, and suddenly I had all these fruit gemstone ideas. I began collecting all different kinds of gemstone beads and learning beading and wire wrapping techniques to bring my designs to life.

At Lapidary & Lore, you'll find unique gemstone jewelry across various collections. The Fruit Collection features fun and vibrant designs inspired by different fruits. The Nature & Floral Collection showcases beautiful flowers and nature-inspired pieces. The Celestial Collection brings the magic of the stars and planets to life. The Elegance Collection offers classic and timeless pieces, such as freshwater pearl earrings, and genuine malachite hoops; and the Inspired Collection features designs that are all either made by or inspired by the people in my life, my friends and family.

I’m excited about an upcoming Bug-Themed Collection, which will include unique pieces like a firefly design made with uranium glass beads and multiple spider gemstone designs. I am also working on an LGBTQ Collection which I was hoping to have out by June for Pride Month 2024, but unfortunately was not ready in time. 

I love creating new designs and aim to bring happy, positive vibes with each piece. My dream is to eventually have a team to help me so I can focus even more on designing.

When I'm not making jewelry, I'm hanging out with my partner and my two cats, Murphy and Lotus. I also love video games—both playing and making them. My favorite Pokémon is Sableye, because of the gemstones, and also ghost type rules.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you find something you love.
