A Little About Kristin Ford Jewelry

Jewelry With Meaning

It’s hard to believe, but I designed my first necklace when I was probably 8 or 9 years old. It was made of paper clips and wall paper and hangs alongside a necklace of my great grandmothers in my studio. Although I got an early start with my Campfire troop and those paper clips, it was many years before I reconnected with the fun of creating pretty jewelry.

The Kristin Ford Company was established in 1994 from my passion for beautiful gems and curiosity surrounding the energy of stones. I was first introduced to the concept of the healing energy of stones while in India and the pursuit of more knowledge led me around the world studying with indigenous healers and researching ancient traditions and uses of stones, numerology and astrology.

Meet Found and Feral

I’m a collector of many things, from vintage clothes to old photographs to pieces of nature from camping trips and travels. Over time I’ve gathered a memory bank of experiences that inspire me to create. I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years and at the end of the day I’m just a lady with a baby on my hip, a messy dog and a crap load of house plants. As an artist, I’m inspired by the world around me, the mundane, everyday stuff, and places with history. I love imagining the stories behind layers of chipped paint and seeing the potential and beauty all around us. When traveling to Turkey years ago I was blown away by a culture so rich in history that at times I felt like I was transported back in time. I was inspired by the architecture, the endless markets, the rugs hanging from wall to wall to wall, and the BRASS! The Brass! I’ve always been a goldie girl but that was a kicking off point. Since then I’ve traveled to other beautiful lands where my soul was filled to the brim and my mind was expanded. Found & Feral is a way to bring those experiences to a tangible form and share them with you!
