Linda Spielman

I make jewelry by hand, letting each choice at the bench lead to the next. I work primarily in sterling silver, sometimes adding stones, touches of 14k gold-fill, and occasionally copper or brass. I’m drawn to round shapes, asymmetry, soft finishes, and texture.

I came to metalsmithing after a long career in business. What started as a few classes became a lasting pursuit. Years later, I’m still pulled in by the process: sawing, forming, sanding, soldering, setting, and finishing. Each piece takes shape through small decisions, some planned, some intuitive. Nothing fussy. Just intentional design and subtle detail.

I design and build every piece in my Chicago studio - contemporary, refined and easy to wear jewelry
