Stand by your Brand: Grayling Jewelry


Meet Portland artist, Katy Kippen of Grayling Jewelry. As early as grade school, Katy had already begun building her skills in design through watching and learning from her Grandfather who was a lapidary. At the age of 16 Katy received formal training in the art of lost wax casting, enameling and mold making.  Identifying her entrepreneurial skills she began selling her jewelry from her high school locker. The rest is history...

The name, Grayling is a nod to a curiously beautiful and delicate fish. The Grayling species is known for its large, wildly colorful dorsal fins and has almost completely disappeared outside of Alaska.

Katy drummed up some show stopper pieces for the Spring season. She created unique chain mix and matches with shades of olive, gold, white and gunmetal and added some pops of turquoise to liven our mood. Take a look at some of our favorite pieces from her latest collection.

The Slim-Fit Overall: Keep it casual but keep an eyethe details. Anything to counter act the frumpy-ness that can come along with utilitarian pieces will do ya right.  Strap on a wedge sandal or bootie will take this look up a notch and add some length to your silhouette. We also suggest adding a necklace or bracelet to polish off your cute and casual outfit.
