About Blue Dot Jewelry

Blue Dot Jewelry began when Caitlin discovered precious metal clay. For her, silver clay was an answer to the question of how to create lasting jewelry that captures and pays homage to the ethereal details of the natural world. Silver clay has all the freedom of clay and is responsive to intricate textures, making it the perfect medium to replicate the veins of a leaf or spire of a shell. It's also well suited to organic designs and tiny original sculpture. Once kiln fired, the organic material in silver clay burns away leaving behind only the silver. Original designs made in this way are reproduced by a trusted caster using traditional silver smithing methods, capturing all the intricacies of the original designs in silver and bronze. Caitlin considers herself fortunate to have grow up surrounded by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. In 2006 she moved to New York City, where she worked for several years in journalism and design. Blue Dot Jewelry — so named for our blue marble home and all the tiny wonder it holds — began on the kitchen counter of her Brooklyn studio. Today she makes jewelry full time in the Hudson Valley, where she lives with her husband and two kids. Read their story
