An apse is a threshold; a variation of the form found most often in cathedrals designed to invite one to look beyond.
Founded in 2016 by partners Hayley Boyd and Jarod Faw, all Apse jewelry is lovingly handcrafted using traditional and modern jewelry techniques, as well as solid precious metals and genuine stones, in our studio set between Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC.
As artists with backgrounds in sculpture and printmaking, our approach to jewelry is intended to celebrate the thresholds we continually move through and the inner alchemy that happens as we say yes to our passage, our partnership, and the legacy we want to leave behind.
Inspired by the natural world and the endless thresholds it presents, these pieces are reminders that treasures are unearthed in the process of moving through your experiences. And, over time, as you move through apse after apse, we hope you discover a jewelry collection that serves as proof of the ways you’ve honored your inner alchemy, loved your people deeply, and bet on your legacy.
Apse jewelry is designed for those unafraid to enter their next threshold, and good jewelry, we believe, is proof a life lived in the beyond.
