Watermelon Tourmaline Ring

Austin Titus | Richmond, VA

Influenced by old world textures and details yet always with the desire to keep a contemporary edge, Austin fabricates jewelry using reclaimed sterling silver, high karat gold and an array of semi precious stones each selected for their color, character and even imperfections. She finds beauty in the imperfect, tactile nature of an object that has been handmade—raw edges, hammer and file marks—these are the signature of the maker and a timeline of the process. Austin is based in the historic neighborhood of Church Hill, in Richmond VA.
