She uses her ability to evoke emotion from jewelry to craft pieces of art that are as much individual style as they are the embodiment of endless possibilities. Ashley’s
designs are intended for individuals who yearn to capture and express their exceptional spirit and beauty. As opposed to fleeting trends, Ashley garners her inspiration from her clients, and their own unique stories, traditions, and cultures. She also utilizes nature as a large influence within her designs. Jewelry, to Ashley, is more than just art, more than just fashion. Each piece of jewelry tells a story. A purpose. Jewelry is generational; it is living and captures the personality and essence of the person wearing it at that time. Perhaps the piece was from a loved one, for a loved one, reminiscent of a loved one. Regardless, it is emotional and captures the sentiment in time and evokes emotions that go beyond the day-to-day reality. Ashley’s ability to capture passion in jewelry stems from her unique gift of translating very real experiences into wearable objects d’art. Each piece is an irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind gem. Ashley’s attention to design starts by using natural stones and only the most elegant of metals. Carefully hand selecting each stone for its natural appearance, Ashley loves how the organic shapes and colors mimic other forms in nature to further tell their story. Whether a diamond-slice earring, or a rose-cut tourmaline, she finds exceptional ways to highlight the beauty and individuality of each piece of her handcrafted jewelry. Together, her pieces generate a collection that is inspired by the romance of distant places, the rich history behind the stones and the inspiring stores of those that adorn them. As a trained goldsmith, Ashley challenges the status quo. Yet, leverages traditional techniques to ensure that each of her unique designs exude beauty and confidence as they ornament the body. Ashley Morgan Designs is located in the heart of San Francisco.
