Ornament is far from supplemental. We adorn ourselves, our spaces, our lives to communicate who we are. This profound human impulse has long inspired me and is the impulse behind Charm Stand, where I bring adornment, and often jewelry specifically, into focus, showing how what we wear is intertwined with both who we are and who we want to be. Jewelry is culture and history; it is personal and private; it is public and intimate; it is precious; and it is powerful.

Charm Stand playfully engages the language of adornment by remixing iconic symbols and recognizable jewelry elements with vintage components and historic jewelry forms. The handmade pieces are unapologetically bold and are a refreshing take on traditional jewelry design. With an eye for detail, craftsmanship, and, of course, style, Amelia Toelke's Charm Stand is uniquely beautiful, joyful, humorous and sentimental.

If you have questions about specific items or custom projects, please get in touch. I love finding collaborative solutions to your jewelry needs!
