Anne Vaughan

Founded in 2006, Anne Vaughan Designs was created so Anne could find a way to work while doing her first job - being a mom.

Created in the basement of a tiny brick ranch home, Anne began creating one piece of jewelry a day as a side hustle after the birth of her son, Gabe. Soon her husband Aaron was creating displays and traveling with her to shows and teaching himself print and web marketing at night in order to help her.

Tens of thousands of pieces of distinct jewelry later (all handcrafted in our studio) and dozens of retail locations across the United States, Anne continues to design each individual item with a talented team of makers supporting her work.

Anne Vaughan Jewelry can be found at retail events, festivals and in unique boutiques and stores across the United States.

Each design you see here is conceived and created from start to finish in our Floyd, Virginia studio with quality components, and new limited and seasonal necklaces, bracelets and earrings are added regularly on AnneVaughanDesigns.com.

Bear Alchemy

Upon the same ridges that her family has walked since the mid 1700’s, Laurie works with ‘at risk’ plants while tending the wild gardens of South Western Virginia. It's through her deep connection with the land and the rare woodland species of this region that Laurie's inspiration to share the spirit of the plants is found. Following a path that has been forged by generations of Applachain Women before her, Laurie's art and work are dedicated to restoring the Granny Way's rich cultural history of infusing plant magic into all they did. As a storyteller and keeper of ever fading traditions, Laurie brings her raw and unique view of the plants, their stories and historical significance to life through Felted Spirit Dolls. Created with deep intentions, their design slowly unfolds with each twist of wool. Colors, sigil and adornments are each chosen to unveil the hidden spirit of the plant that the doll carries within its core. Sacred offerings that are as much medicine as they are art, Laurie's creations embody the unique stories and magic of Appalachian plants. With a firm belief that connection is the place where healing begins, behind all Laurie does is the mantra 'Spirit to Spirit, Plants and People'.
