Growing up on the rugged coast of Maine taught me to cherish the immense power and beauty of nature. After my first metalsmithing class in 2001, that love took shape in my hands. I started Amanda K Lockrow jewelry shortly after graduating with a BFA in metalsmithing from Syracuse University.
Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted in Los Angeles using mostly recycled metals. My signature hammered textures, my knowledge of stones, my craftsmanship, and my love of the details create jewelry I hope my customers will wear to support their bold, beautiful lives.
I hope my jewelry will be worn along on lots of adventures big and small.
From an early age, I was drawn to spirituality, meditation, and yoga. Now I'm putting that passion into practice. I am a level 2 reiki practitioner, meditation & tapping teacher and emotion hygiene facilitator.
After I fell in love with metalsmithing I discovered that one of my ancestor's was a sword maker in Japan in the early 1500's. Someday I hope to visit Japan to learn more about these ancient techniques.

Immersed in diverse cultures and apprenticing with artisans worldwide, Catherine launched Catherine Weitzman Jewelry in San Francisco in 2000.
