Monica Riley Jewelry
Monica Riley’s line of jewelry combines precious with primitive and raw with refined to invoke a down-to-earth luxe that strives to be both timeless and of the time. Fabricated by hand, the maker’s process is apparent in the individual pieces which are designed to be layered casually, worn every day, and become beautifully marked by time and wear.​

About Monica
Monica Riley is a self-taught Danish-American jewelry designer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. An English and philosophy major with a background in copywriting, Monica’s path into jewelry design developed organically into her full-time focus over the past decade.





The Process
Monica's process takes its cue visually from the things that inspire her—fashion, archaeology, the goldsmithing process itself, as well as the tactile qualities in nature and in man-made materials.​

Archaeo and Fine Earth
​The Archaeo and Fine Earth collections are designed to balance a grounding earthiness
with a delicate elegance. Fine Earth features carefully hammered discs and hand-cut beads
made from recycled gold that convey a simple richness. Archaeo combines matte and shiny gold
with oxidized silver beads, and opaque stones with bright ones to create a raw and refined aesthetic.
​
All is made by hand in Monica’s California studio with responsibly sourced materials.
