Rooted in Tradition. Forged by Hand.

Hand-forged sterling silver and gold jewelry shaped in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Built with traditional tools. Designed for endurance.

Bench Practice — How the Work Is Forged

The Practice Behind the Work

Sterling Roots jewelry is shaped using traditional silversmithing tools and disciplined handwork. Hammer marks, torch heat, and intentional finishing define each form.

Every piece is forged by the silversmiths behind Sterling Roots, working daily at the Adirondack bench.

No mass production. No outsourcing. Only metal, stone, and deliberate practice.

You can give her a few ideas about what you like and she will bring back to you beautiful pieces that you fall in love with on first sight. I adore each and every piece, whether it was picked off a display or custom made just for me! "

    "Emily, the artist, behind Sterling Roots creates stunningly, beautiful pieces. Each piece is carefully crafted. She responds quickly and is willing to create custom pieces. While a visit to the shop is always worthwhile, her online shop and live sales will give you a glimpse into her talent. I love seeing a package from Sterling Roots."
