Madam Alchemy

Each piece is handcrafted by Madam Alchemy, a self-taught metalsmith and lapidarist who transforms raw stones and precious metals into powerful, one-of-a-kind adornments. Designed to make you feel confident, grounded, and radiant, these pieces carry the energy of the earth and the touch of an artist’s hand. Whether you’re drawn to bold statement rings or shimmering gemstone accents, Madam Alchemy's work is made to be worn with pride and cherished for years.

Founded in 2012 in Richmond, VA, Solid Treasures has been involved in the arts across Tucson, San Diego, & Orlando. Madam Alchemy's journey began with beaded and wire work, but in 2015, she ventured into metalsmithing, a craft that has since become a lifelong passion. While she specializes in one-of-a-kind, hand-fabricated creations, Madam Alchemy also incorporates cast pieces based on her unique designs, making each work a true expression of her creative vision.

Creative Journey

From the arid landscapes of Arizona, evolving under the Californian sun, flourishing in the vibrant surroundings of Florida, to the beautiful state of Virginia, each place adds to the story of my creative journey.

Perfectly Imperfect

In a world of mass production, there's an extraordinary beauty found in the imperfections of handmade jewelry. Each treasure carries the unique signature of the artisan's touch, a charming quirk that sets it apart.

A Thoughtful Process

The metalsmithing process alone is a testament to the dedication invested in every piece. It begins with the careful selection of materials.

The entire process, from concept to completion, demands time, attention, and an unwavering commitment to quality. Each piece is an embodiment of countless hours spent honing skills, refining techniques, and infusing a bit of the artist's spirit into the final creation.

From Rough to Polished

For some pieces, the journey extends to the lapidary arts, where I meticulously cut and shape gemstones, which adds a layer of complexity and uniqueness to my work. These particular gems are called Poseidon Variscite.

All scrap metal gets utilized. Each piece that is born from the remnants of its predecessors stands as a testament to the beauty that can emerge from mindful craftsmanship and the dedication to a minimal-waste philosophy.
