Jewelry with a
Rebellious Story
Worth Wearing

Wyoming Metalsmith Rachel Hawkinson crafts pieces with character.

Unique Stones. Unexpected details. Traditional metal smithing. Pieces made slowly, thoughtfully, and with a little grit. Because western style isn't a costume, it's a way of being in the world.

Made by Hand. Built to Stand Out.

T. Hawk Studio creates handcrafted jewelry and objects for people who don't want ordinary.​

Each Piece begins with an idea, a material, or a story-and becomes something entirely its own through traditional metalsmithing techniques, unusual combinations of materials, and a willingness to break the rules. 

Pieces with a Point of View

Jewelry isn't meant to disappear into the background

From Wyoming Agate and petrified wood to labradorite, jasper, elk ivories, metal and leather, every material brings its own character. 

Explore pieces designed to start conversations, hold memories, and become part of your story.

Meet the Artist Behind the Materials

Metalsmith. Artist. Preserver of Stories.

My love of making started with my dad welding in the driveway. 

​

Handing him tools, helping with the tape measure, and pushing the start button on the welder sparked a need to create that never left me. 

​

I watched ordinary materials become useful, beautiful objects through hard work, creativity and sheer grit. 

​

I make things to preserve individual memories and points of view, and traditional bench techniques are uniquely suited to allow me to slow down, pay attention and explore the relation between people, nature, materials and the stories we carry with us.

Born from the West

Wyoming is more than a place on a map.

Wide-open skies. Crisp, country air. The earthy scent of dust and sagebrush carried on the wind. Textures of living things and an independent spirit that clings to us all find their way into T. Hawk Studio. But western influence doesn't mean following a formula.

​

The West is a place of quiet abundance and enduring beauty—a landscape that teaches us to treasure what is rare, honor what has been given, and preserve the stories worth carrying forward.

​

Wyoming isn't a space for influencers. IT is our influence, our provider, our inheritance. It shapes the way we see beauty—in the weathered, the imperfect, the enduring—and reminds us that true grace is found in knowing what to hold onto.

​

Each piece is shaped by hand and inspired by this place we call home, made to carry an unexpected story of its own and become part of yours.

Jewelry Can Be Art

Explore the work beyond the practical.

Rachel also explores sculptural, non-wearable objects, exhibitions and experimental work.

These pieces are where ideas get to run loose. Where metal becomes a way to investigate nature, science, movement, pattern and the world around us.
