HANUS JEWELRY
HANDCRAFTED BY JEANNETTE WARTELLE

Hanus Jewelry (pronounced Ha-nis) came to life in 2018 when I set out to embrace my artistic journey after years of working in corporate america as an engineer. My jewelry business is named after my Grandfather who immigrated from Czechoslovakia and built his own business through hard work and exceptional customer care.
What began as trying something new - taking silversmith classes at Tacoma Metal Arts and Pratt in Seattle - became a love for metalwork; the heat, structure, and the way silver transforms under the torch drew me in. I'm equally drawn to pairing metal with gemstones and the contrast they create. Designing pieces is a huge part of the fun for me.
Today I work out of my studio in downtown Winthrop, a space that lets me explore ideas with equal parts precision and play. My studio has seen its share of experiments, breakthroughs, and unexpected lessons - each shaping the work I create.
Thank you for joining me on my artistic journey where I am always learning. Each piece I create is part of a shared story between the art, myself and you, the wearer of the piece. I look forward to continuing my journey, exploring new ideas and creating silver art that resonates with and inspires all of us.
