Miranda Hicks’ jewelry embodies the untamed spirit of the American Southwest, blending rugged, natural elements with a bold, contemporary edge. Made primarily in sterling silver, Miranda Hicks honors the traditional silversmithing techniques that have long defined our region, while still bringing a fresh sensibility to the medium. Working from her studio in Santa Fe, Miranda Hicks’ jewelry collection captures the strength and beauty of our high desert home.
At the heart of Miranda Hicks’ designs lie an earthy humility. Triangular, circular, and trapezoidal studs are cast and carved by hand, and then hammered and oxidized to create Miranda Hicks’ signature patina. The neutral-toned sterling silver offsets rare stones, such as black garnet, spirit quartz and apophyllite–all chosen for their raw, natural beauty.
Though grounded in traditional craftsmanship, Miranda Hicks’ earrings channel an aesthetic that is strikingly modern. Delicate yet powerful, her designs challenge the conventions of classical jewelry, embracing asymmetry and rough-hewn stones for an organic and spontaneous feel.
What makes Miranda Hicks’ work so distinctive is her approach to wearability. Her jewelry is as comfortable as it is captivating. With her earrings and cuff bracelets, Miranda Hicks quietly transforms appearances and spirits both– a testament to the power of art and nature in true harmony. Her pieces aren’t just accessories, but talismans… each crafted with its own story.
