ARTIST STATEMENT Jayme L, Artist and Designer, No Man's Land Artifacts

Creative, unique, sustainable jewelry made in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. No Man's Land pieces are handcrafted entirely in house, utilizing responsibly sourced North American hardwoods, natural mineral pigments, soy-based resin, authentic vintage papers, and quality metals.

Each piece is one of a kind and bears the distinctive characteristics of authentic natural materials. Lightweight, comfortable, and chic, each makes a statement while honoring the land it came from.

With more than fifteen years experience as a fashion and accessories designer, I gently transitioned to jewelry design after a particularly enchanting visit to one of the many Pacific Northwest forests. Endlessly inspired by the natural world, my focus is on utilizing sustainable materials in unique and unconventional ways. From a sliver of hardwood to a measure of antique textile, each material speaks to me and dictates the manner in which I design. As an artist with a background in anthropology, it is my intention to honor global traditions of craft and innovation. 

Each of my pieces bears the marks of nature and of the artist, and it is inherently one of a kind. It is this unique quality that sets No Man's Land Artifacts apart from the mass produced jewelry market.

I'm delighted that you have chosen my pieces to adorn yourself, and I look forward to many seasons of inspiration.

Creatively yours,
