Natha Perkins – Luscious Metals by Natha Perkins

303.875.8592

Natha is a metalsmith and designer of unique and enchanting handcrafted jewelry. This is jewelry with an emphasis on glowing metals, shimmering colors, interesting textures and mesmerizing words. Natha realized her pieces had potential when people would literally buy them off of her neck at the restaurant where she worked. Fast forward 10 years and there are quite a few women around the world wearing her designs. What sets her work apart are the rich colors of the gemstones and pearls that accompany most pieces as well as the fact that almost every piece is inscribed with a word (or 5!). Natha feels that language holds so much power and that using words infuses her pieces with meaning and relevance for their owners. Natha’s jewelry is very meaningful – inscribed with children’s names to keep your children with you when you’re away, amulets, words, these will become your favorite pieces that mean a lot to you.
