Natalie La Bruzzy

“By contrasting the fine delicateness of organic elements with the harshness of metal, my work turns fragility into strength.”

With a background in metal sculpture conservation and a deep love for the outdoors, Natalie La Bruzzy utilizes a variety of metal fabrication processes to craft wearable art informed by nature. From layering metal alloys, to creating molds of found objects such as reclaimed animal bones + plant inspired components, to applying proprietary patinas, La Bruzzy combines multiple techniques to create jewelry that is at once industrial and organic.

A graduate of Wayne State University’s metalsmithing + sculpture program, and an apprentice jeweler at Abracadabra, she uses recycled sterling silver, bronze, and carefully sourced semi-precious gems to explore the space between fine jewelry and functional artistry.
