Austin Titus's love of fine craft and a reverence for traditional metal smithing techniques is influenced by the beautiful juxtaposition between the industrial elements of living in a historical city contrasted with the natural world around her. She fabricates her jewelry using rich brushed karat gold, reclaimed sterling silver and an array of semi precious stones selected for color, character and even imperfections.

Austin Titus finds beauty in the imperfect tactile nature of an object that has been handmade—raw edges, hammer and file marks are the signature of the maker and a timeline of the process. Created in the Austin Titus studio located in the historic neighborhood of Church Hill, in Richmond VA.
