we are apse (/aps)


 

COOL JEWELRY MADE FROM PRECIOUS MATERIALS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNAFRAID TO GO BEYOND>

 

An apse is the shape of a threshold and is a sacred space in a cathedral that calls you to look up and out. It is an invitation to step outside of the box. 

And we think good jewelry is proof of life lived on the other side of the apse.

Apse is cool, sustainably handcrafted fine jewelry designed for those who are unafraid to go beyond; to explore their inner universe, dig deeper into their outer world and celebrate the infinite ways we are all connected.

Designed to be worn through transformative moments just as much as they are designed to commemorate them, these precious, substantial pieces are intended to be worn without hesitation.

And overtime, as you continue to pass through apse after apse, we hope your jewelry collection reflects that you've been honest with yourself, took risks and loved the people around you.

 

Apse was started in 2016 by wife and husband, Hayley Boyd and Jarod Faw. All apse pieces are uncompromisingly made with solid precious metals and genuine stones by us in our studio located right between Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC.

With backgrounds in sculpture and printmaking, our approach to jewelry is inspired by our lived experience and both our individual and shared on-going personal transformations. We believe jewelry is tool we can all use to practice being more honest with ourselves and the people around us, and in turn, learn to love a whole lot bigger.
