Tamara Kelly Designs

Artist | Tamara Kelly Designs | Ferndale, WA 

Designed and handcrafted in the Pacific Northwest, Tamara Kelly creates sculptural jewelry influenced by nature’s lines, textures, and quiet strength. Working with sterling silver, copper, bronze, gold, and semi-precious stones, Kelly employs advanced metal-smithing techniques such as reticulation forming and granulation methods that require patience, heat, and a deep understanding of material. Through an intuitive, hands-on process, sketches are honed and refined before being shaped into one-of-a-kind pieces that carry a sense of history. The resulting forms feel elemental and timeless, echoing coastal stone, forest bark, and weathered landscapes. Each piece is designed to stand on its own—bold yet wearable—making these enduring statement pieces a natural fit within Millstream’s coastal + forest aesthetic.

Reticulated silver is created by repeatedly heating the metal so its surface shifts and ripples, guided by chemistry, temperature, and the maker’s hand.
