I'm Laura, the metalsmith behind Velasco Silversmithing - a one-woman shop where every piece is forged by hand with fire, grit, and heart. I work out of my home studio in Anchorage, Alaska, crafting jewelry that blends the rugged soul of the backcountry with the bold spirit of the Southwest. My materials include sterling silver, copper, and brass, paired with stones mined out of the United States. What started as a quick silversmithing class in Phoenix quickly became a passion I had no idea existed. Each piece I make tells a story - of wild places, strong hands, and the beauty in honest, hardworking craftsmanship.
