Welcome to Our Web Gallery

"Every object which you pass from your hand must carry an outspoken mark of individuality, beauty and most exact execution."  Charles Rennie Mackintosh, 1902

Welcome to the gallery of Francis & Linelle Lynch. These are all photos of our handcrafted jewelry designs as well as a few beautiful estate pieces. Each piece is unique. Every gemstone is hand selected to inspire our creative process.Black Opals in 22K featured in 2009 American Art Collector.  

We work primarily in 18kt Yellow Gold, 22kt Yellow, Red and Green Gold and Platinum. We have recently started using a new alloy of 95% Palladium and  5% Ruthenium called TruPd. TruPd has the same color and characteristics of Platinum but at a more attractive price.

All the gold used in the creation of these wearable works of art are "Green" in that they are all from recycled metals.   One 14k gold ring made from mined ore dumps 5 tons of toxic waste into our environment!   As an old hippie Francis finds this unacceptable, as does Linelle (although she is not an old hippie).

All of the gemstones we use in our designs are natural and untreated, and are sourced from socially ethical suppliers.
